Repairing versus replacing in Aberdare
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is usually far better value. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Aberdare: your questions answered
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Generally. Send us a picture and we will tell you.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole worktop and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Clean spills right away
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Oil wooden tops regularly
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know which floor the room is on

What else we do in Aberdare
How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
When to call us in Aberdare
Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, and that can make them swell.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Knife marks
- Gouges in the surface
- Chips on edges and corners
- Damage around the sink cut-out
Before you book anyone
- How your room will be protected
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What preparation is included
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- A top that moves on its units
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
