Magicman: The difference between an engineered repair and a cosmetic one

Every month Magicman technicians all over the country send ‘before and after’ photos of the jobs they attend back to head office.  When it comes to surface repairs, they cover everything - wood, laminate, ceramics including wall and floor tiles, stone, brick, uPVC, plastics. corian, marble, glass and so much more. 

Repair to holes in tiles when access pipes are moved

Magicman’s mission is to restore and extend the lifespan of items that would otherwise go to landfill, saving money for the customer and helping the environment. Of course that has led to many imitators but there is one outstanding difference between us and the competition, Magicman repairs are engineered and not simply cosmetic.

A hole in a bath that won’t reappear thanks to an engineered solution

Cosmetic repairs are by definition superficial and are ‘designed to cover up a flaw or deficiency’. Damage is filled in and covered up. It may make the surface look new and wonderful for a time but generally they don’t last.  That is because they are achieved using materials such as repair wax that often falls out or breaks again before too long. Magicman offer superior engineered repairs which are permanent.

Not all damage is accidental but ugly access holes can be repaired too

The first priority of a Magicman technician is to eradicate or resolve the problem and then to make it disappear to the untrained eye. They do this by reinforcing the substrate and supporting the repair using the best materials, often products unavailable to the public because of the health and safety training required to use them properly.

Paint spillage can be fixed... even if splashed on acrylic, ceramic or glass 

It’s a matter of ethos. If a Magicman technician thinks the repair won’t last, he or she won’t attempt it. Furthermore when a Magicman van arrives, it is fully stocked with the best industry products currently available so that the technician is ready and prepared to carry out any works that you might require right away.  

Colour and grain matching is just one aspect of our repairs

Magicman repairs can take place anywhere in the home, inside and out, as well as in motorhomes and boats, commercial properties like hotels, restaurants and leisure centres, museums and galleries, hospitals and government buildings, We work nationwide but internationally too, on major builds abroad and on cruise ships all over the world.

A damaged surface can be made beautiful again no matter how detailed

Even though Magicman have been in the business for 24 years, we are not sitting back. Our dedicated R&D department continually test new materials and source the finest products as they become available. 

Almost impossible repairs can be achieved outdoors as well as in

This means Magicman are able to offer the largest range of restoration solutions on the market to the broadest selection of hard surfaces.  

All forms of brick and stone can be renovated and even recoloured if necessary

And we will look at any job, no matter how big or small or how unique! One of the advantages of Magicman is our scalability, from one technician in a van, to teams of 6 to 8 or even more.

After 24 years in the business no job is too different or unusual

So why settle for a cosmetic repair when Magicman’s engineered solutions are second to none? For more information visit our magicman.co.uk.

All the repair and restoration solutions presented in this post are winners and runners-up in Magicman’s Repair Photo of the Month competition from March to June 2017. Photographs are of genuine Magicman jobs carried out for real customers and are taken by the technician who carried out the works in every case.

The text is quick, swiftly typed explanations and apologies that are probably far too familiar by now. There’s guilt sitting on his shoulders even before he hits sends, promises broken to himself as much as they are to Maggie that things would be different this time. He wouldn’t fall into the same patterns, missing too much time with his sister because he couldn’t say no. But there are alarms going off over his head, the ambulance racing swiftly through the streets thanks to too many desperate calls coming in from too many places in the city.

He doesn’t know much about the cause of them, little except the possibility that the world chose today to end. There’s the terrifying possibility that it might be at Maggie’s hands, but it’s nothing he chooses to acknowledge until he’s left with no other choices. He has little to compare it to, but it seems like she’s doing well. There haven’t been any incidents, she hasn’t run.

And any thought that her hands are the cause is erased in the next moment, the whole world shuddering around him. He grasps desperately for a handhold as the ambulance shakes around them, and if he hasn’t been in Los Angeles all that long he can only think it’s an earthquake ripping beneath their feet. His heart races faster in his chest, tilting his head to try and get a glimpse out the front, but in the next moment the vehicle is jerking to a stop.
