Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Pen-y-bont. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Pen-y-bont
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Water-swollen laminate
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Solid surface (such as Corian)

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around 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 scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills right away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
