Worktop repair in Pen-twyn

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Why repair rather than replace?

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. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Common problems we fix in Pen-twyn

The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

Common reasons people in Pen-twyn contact us are:

  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • Dents and gouges
  • A chipped edge
  • A damaged sink edge

Questions to ask before booking

  • How to care for the finish
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

10 questions to ask before you book

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

When we would advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Pen-twyn questions

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

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

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Pen-twyn. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole worktop

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
