Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Failed support under the worktop

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

What we work on

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Can you quote from photos?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do you cover the entire of Neath Port Talbot?

Everywhere in the UK, Banwen included. Travel is included in the price.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

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. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Clean spills right away
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Dry around the sink and joints

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

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire worktop, we can price the job.
