Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For anyone letting property in or around Abercrave, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Worktop repair at your home in Abercrave
You don’t need a new worktop because of one mark. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. We are often asked to fix a heat mark or burn and gouges in the surface, across solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and solid wood.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Clean spills immediately
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Failed support under the worktop
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Through cracks in stone that is moving

The process
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Different materials, different repairs
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.
