DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 typically cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
How we handle worktop repair in Aberkenfig
Pan burns, chipped edges and knife scratches make up most of our worktop work. We repair them all in your kitchen. We regularly repair solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and granite & marble, and common reasons people contact us are dents and gouges and chips in quartz or granite.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Aberkenfig questions
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Failed support under the worktop
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Discolouration deep in quartz
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
- Quartz
- Laminate
Repairs by material
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is usually far better value. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Do not leave spills to soak in
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Aberkenfig. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
