For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Dowlais Top, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode

If you are in Dowlais Top and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Signs you need worktop repair in Dowlais Top

  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • A heat mark or burn

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What prep work is covered

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Clean spills immediately
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Keep a trivet by the hob

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

Different materials, different repairs

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.

Granite and stone

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