Do you need worktop repair in Gwaun-Cae-Gurwen?

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the rest of the kitchen.
- We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Water-swollen laminate
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
