FAQs for Pen-Rhiw-fawr
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole worktop and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Usually. A photo lets us check what’s possible.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is typically far better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Do not knock pans against the edge
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
What we cannot put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A top that moves on its units
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. 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, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
What affects the price in Pen-Rhiw-fawr
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote

- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire worktop
- Natural light rather than flash
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
