Worktop repair in Aberystwyth

Worktop repair in Aberystwyth, done in place

A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the pattern. Typical jobs include chips caused during installation and a chipped quartz edge, on solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and granite & marble.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Ceredigion.

FAQs for Aberystwyth

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Do you cover Aberystwyth?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Aberystwyth. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Should you replace it?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Aberystwyth. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

What your worktop is made of matters

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Wipe up spills quickly

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.

Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
