How to compare quotes

Landlord and trade work in Swarkestone

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Clean spills immediately
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Use a chopping board

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

Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Swarkestone, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

If you are in Swarkestone and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Repairs by material

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
