Worktop repair in Ogmore-by-Sea without replacing anything

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. Our repair technicians work on quartz, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian), and people most often call us about a chipped edge and scratches and knife marks.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Solid surface

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

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Clean spills right away
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Ogmore-by-Sea: your questions answered

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

When we would advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

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

Surfaces we repair

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

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
