Questions from Dowlais

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you match granite flecks?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.

Do you cover the whole of Merthyr Tydfil?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Only the area we’re working on. The rest is covered and protected.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

When to call us in Dowlais

Sink and hob cut-outs are weak points, so cracks and chips frequently start there.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A heat mark or burn
  • A chipped edge
  • Knife marks
  • Damage to a stone worktop

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Our hiring checklist

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Failed support under the worktop

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Why repair rather than replace?

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • No need to remove anything
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

See our prices page.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Re-oil timber worktops

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

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