What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Llanelli questions

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How much do I need to move?

Just near the damage. You can generally still use the rest of the kitchen.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you work in Llanelli?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Llanelli for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it

Most customers in Llanelli get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

How to look after the repair

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

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Keep a trivet by the hob

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
