About our worktop repair in Gaer
Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. We regularly repair quartz, laminate and solid wood, and people most frequently call us about damage from fitting or building work and a chipped edge.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Gaer as everywhere else we work.

Different materials, different repairs
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Gaer. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Gaer
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
When a repair is not the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- Water-swollen laminate
- Failed support under the worktop
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
- Solid wood
How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the rest of the kitchen.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Gaer questions
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Are there extra charges for Gaer?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Repairing versus replacing in Gaer
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Gaer. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
