What else we do in Carn-glas
Repair or replace: which is better?
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. For a home around Carn-glas where the worktop is sound, replacing it is rarely worth the cost and disruption.
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Carn-glas. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Carn-glas. The price comes down to:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SA2 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
Keep hot or heavy items off the repaired area until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Water-swollen laminate
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Quartz
- Laminate
