For landlords and businesses

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.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Theydon Bois use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Don’t let water sit on joints

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

Why repair rather than replace?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Different materials, different repairs

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

When to call us in Theydon Bois

Most chips are on edges and corners, often when something heavy catches the edge.

  • Burns from hot pans
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
