Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Keep wood oiled
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Clean spills right away
  • Use a chopping board

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

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

Common problems we fix in Gwystre

Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, and that is where cracks often begin.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Burns from hot pans
  • Dents and gouges
  • A damaged sink edge

10 questions to ask before booking

Common questions in Gwystre

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do you cover the whole of Powys?

Everywhere in the UK, Gwystre included. Travel is included in the price.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

How much does worktop repair cost in Gwystre?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Is my repair covered?

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

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Powys.

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.

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. 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 protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
