Worktop repair in Cae'r-gwerlas without replacing anything

A damaged worktop doesn’t have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. If you’re dealing with a chipped quartz edge and knife marks, we can help, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Different materials, different repairs

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is typically far better value. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Cae'r-gwerlas

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Rhondda Cynon Taff and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Water-swollen laminate

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

Surfaces we repair

Common questions in Cae'r-gwerlas

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

In most cases. Send us a photo and we will tell you.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Are there extra charges for Cae'r-gwerlas?

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

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Use a chopping board
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Cae'r-gwerlas. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
