How we handle worktop repair in Cynghordy

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. We are frequently asked to fix chips caused during installation and a heat mark or burn, in granite & marble, quartz and solid wood.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What we cannot put right

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

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

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Keep wood oiled

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

When to call us in Cynghordy

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

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Gouges in the surface
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • A damaged sink edge

Choosing a repair company

How it works

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 work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is typically far better value. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Cynghordy. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What your worktop is made of matters

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 scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

Cynghordy questions

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Often, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes, frequently. We match the colour and polish the repair.
