Surface Magic Repairs
Who We Are & How We Work
We are a specialist cosmetic surface repair company. Where an item is sound and the damage is on the surface, repair is usually worth assessing before replacement is ordered.
For our story, standards, sustainability approach and accreditations, see the company overview hub.
Who we support
Homes, buildings, sites and portfolios
Our work spans private homes and commercial property in roughly equal measure of care and preparation, from a single repair in a family kitchen to planned work across hotels, developments, offices and managed buildings. Every item is assessed on its own merits, and we say honestly when repair is not the right answer.
- Homeowners
- Kitchens, bathrooms, windows and furniture repaired in the home so sound items stay in use.
- Hotels and hospitality
- Guest rooms, bathrooms and public areas restored with minimal disruption to trading.
- Main contractors
- Cosmetic damage picked up late in the programme, repaired in place rather than replaced.
- Housebuilders and developers
- Snagging and transit damage across plots, apartments and phases ahead of handover.
- Facilities and property managers
- Planned and reactive cosmetic repairs across buildings and managed portfolios.
- Retail and leisure
- Shopfronts, counters, panels and fixtures kept presentable while units stay open.
- Education
- Worktops, doors, frames and washroom surfaces repaired around term-time access.
- Healthcare and care
- Repairs to suitable surfaces in sensitive environments, planned around occupancy.
Other property types are considered on request — see the commercial sectors we support or read about construction and property development work.
