Common questions in Gilfach Goch

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you cover Gilfach Goch?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Gilfach Goch. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

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

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.

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

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can

  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Chips on edges and corners

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • If travel is included in the price

  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gilfach Goch

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gilfach Goch use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Honest limits

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

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

Materials we work on in Gilfach Goch
