Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep wood oiled
  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Never put hot pans down directly

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

When to call us in Heolgerrig

Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, and that can make them swell.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Chipped corners
  • A chipped quartz edge
  • A dent from a dropped pan

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Questions from Heolgerrig

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Heolgerrig and the rest of Merthyr Tydfil. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

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

Do you cover Heolgerrig?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Heolgerrig. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Merthyr Tydfil and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What your worktop is made of matters

Solid surface

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

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is usually far better value. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
