For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Stanton Chare, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills immediately, and keep wooden tops oiled.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

Different materials, different repairs

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Our worktop repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Stanton Chare clients choose us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Colour-matched on site

Questions from Stanton Chare

How much do I need to move?

Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Usually. A photo lets us check.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you need worktop repair in Stanton Chare?

Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, and that can make them swell.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Knife marks
  • Burns from hot pans
  • Chips near the sink
  • A chipped quartz edge

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What preparation is included

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
