Your questions about worktop repair in Aberfan

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.

Do you work in Aberfan?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Aberfan and the rest of Merthyr Tydfil. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Aberfan.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • No need to remove anything
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

Read our prices page.

When a repair is not the answer

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Aberfan

If you manage property in Aberfan, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

  • Scorch marks from pans
  • A dent from a dropped pan
