For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Swinstead. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Keep wood oiled
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills straight away, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
Swinstead questions
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Often, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Do you work in Swinstead?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Swinstead from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.
