Landlord and trade work in Torwood
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How we handle worktop repair in Torwood
The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand. Our technicians work on solid wood, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian), and common reasons people contact us are damage from fitting or building work and gouges in the surface.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

What else we do in Torwood
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Clean spills immediately
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Do not let water sit on joints
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
Every job is a little different, 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.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your FK5 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
