DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What affects the price in Cefn-bryn-brain

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Cefn-bryn-brain. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Questions from Cefn-bryn-brain

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

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What does worktop repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your SA9 postcode.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Landlord and trade work in Cefn-bryn-brain

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

When we would advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

What we’re called out for in Cefn-bryn-brain

Most chips are on edges and corners, often when something heavy catches the edge.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Burns from hot pans
  • Chipped corners
  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • A damaged sink edge

Before you book anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
