Worktop Repair across Blaenau Gwent

Worktop repair at your home in Blaenau Gwent

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. We work on solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and solid wood, and people most often call us about gouges in the surface and knife marks.

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

What you will pay

Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills immediately, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

Repairs by material

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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 usually the cheaper route.

How the damage happens

Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans scorch, knives cut, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A heat mark or burn
  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Dents and gouges
  • Scratches and knife marks
