How we handle worktop repair in Aberdovey

Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand so the repair blends in. Typical jobs include chips caused during installation and chips on edges and corners, across quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

FAQs for Aberdovey

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just near the damage. You can typically still use the rest of the kitchen.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Generally, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Landlord and trade work in Aberdovey

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Aberdovey as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Gwynedd and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Keep joints and edges dry

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

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Aberdovey

  • Solid wood
  • Laminate
  • Granite & marble
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Quartz

When to call us in Aberdovey

Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, and that can make them swell.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

  • Chips caused during installation
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • A heat mark or burn
  • Gouges in the surface

  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
