Repair of the Month - June 2017
Welcome to the monthly photo competition from specialist repair company Magicman. We operate nationwide within the UK, on cruise ships around the world and internationally on major builds such as hospitals.
Magicman is a traditional repair service with 24 years’ experience in hard surface restoration but the way we conduct business is very much with one eye on the future, not stuck in the past. One innovation is the desktop survey. Rather than conduct an on site survey (still available as a charged service), customers can upload photos of damage via Magicman’s website or through our phone app. They receive an assessment by an experienced technician quicker than a representative attending in person. Best of all there is no charge to the customer for this service and no obligation to proceed when they receive their estimate.
Photos are at the centre of many of our operations. Our fully trained and certified repair technicians and glass polishers, record their work through photos, many of which are exceptional and are entered into a monthly competition. The best, the unusual and the unique are shared online. June’s winner is a repair to an office desk.
Office workers are all used to access ports and holes cut into a desk or workstation. But there is no need to throw furniture away along with outdated fixtures and fittings. Magicman are able to save office furniture from the skip by restoring what may seem like impossible-to-repair damage. This example required great skill to achieve because of the glossy finish.
Our first runner-up is a ceramic tile in a washroom. Magicman frequently repair scratches, chips, cracks and drill holes to both wall and floor tiles but they can even restore completely broken tiles as with the example above.
Our second runner-up could be classed under the heading ‘deliberate damage’. When a worktop cannot be fitted in once piece, and the join is visible, Magicman can effect the same repair as if it were a crack or split in the surface and blend it in to match the grain or pattern of the original surface.
Our final runner-up is a couple of small but deep gouges to a wooden floor. Magicman technicians are part repair man, part artist. After addressing the damage, they then use colour mixing skills to match the grain and the colour by hand.
To receive a free no-obligation estimate, please send two photos of the damaged item (one close, and one a bit father away for perspective) along with your post code to [email protected]. Please allow up to 48 hours for a response but often it will be within a few hours.
