Worktop repair in Gendros

Worktop repair in Gendros without replacing anything

Different worktops need different repairs: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. We always aim for a repair that blends in. Our technicians work on laminate, quartz and solid wood, and common reasons people get in touch are snagging damage in a new kitchen and a dent from a dropped pan.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Swansea.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SA5 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Signs you need worktop repair in Gendros

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Knife marks
  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Damage around the sink cut-out

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether they match the colour on site

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Gendros questions

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

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

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Swansea. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

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

How much do I need to move?

Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gendros

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gendros as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Different materials, different repairs

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Granite & marble
