Worktop repair in Cwmbychan without replacing anything
A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most repairs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. We are frequently asked to fix a chipped quartz edge and chipped corners, across solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and quartz.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Neath Port Talbot.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Cwmbychan. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One picture of the entire worktop
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Questions from Cwmbychan
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you work in Cwmbychan?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Cwmbychan. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

The process
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
