How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills straight away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

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

Worktop repair in Pen-dre, done in place

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most repairs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. Typical jobs include scratches and knife marks and chips caused during installation, on laminate, solid wood and solid surface (such as Corian).

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Ceredigion.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Pen-dre. The price comes down to:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Pen-dre questions

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Pen-dre and the rest of Ceredigion. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Can you match granite flecks?

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

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Repairing versus replacing in Pen-dre

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
