Worktop repair in Gilwern without replacing anything
We repair worktops in place. Most repairs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. Common call-outs are for a dent from a dropped pan and cuts and scratches in the surface, in quartz, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian).
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Keep wood oiled
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Dry around the sink and joints
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

What else we do in Gilwern
Can I fix it myself?
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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Gilwern. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole worktop
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Repairs by material
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.
Should you replace it?
Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
