Landlord and trade work in Stanway
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Essex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Repair or replace in Stanway?
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Questions from Stanway
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Typically, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, filled and polished to match.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Stanway.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Repairs by material
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the entire worktop
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
When to call us in Stanway
