Trusted worktop repair in Hay

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

Worktop repair in Hay, done in place

You do not need a new worktop because of one mark. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. If you are dealing with scratches and knife marks and gouges in the surface, we can help, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Granite & marble
  • Laminate
  • Solid wood
  • Quartz

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hay

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hay as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Common questions in Hay

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you cover the whole of Herefordshire?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you match granite flecks?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.

Is my repair covered?

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

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Why repair rather than replace?

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
