About our worktop repair in Machynlleth
You do not need a new worktop because of one mark. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. If you’re dealing with burns from hot pans and cuts and scratches in the surface, we can help, on quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and laminate alike.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What your worktop is made of matters
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.
What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
If you’re in Machynlleth and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not 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.
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.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Machynlleth: your questions answered
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Machynlleth.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
In most cases. Send us a photo and we will tell you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the area is dry
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
