How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can

Margam: your questions answered

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

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

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish

We don’t add 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.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Most clients in Margam get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repairs by material

Laminate

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

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.

Do you need worktop repair in Margam?

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • A chipped edge
  • Dents and gouges

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Our hiring checklist

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Use a chopping board

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Margam. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
