Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For anyone letting property in or around Woodchester, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

Different materials, different repairs
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.
Should you replace it?
A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Woodchester: your questions answered
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes, often. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you cover the whole of Gloucestershire?
Across the UK, and that includes Woodchester. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
