Aberaeron: your questions answered

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Only the area we are working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What your worktop is made of matters

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Should you replace it?

A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise 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.

Choosing a repair company

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SA46 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
