Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

If you manage property in Pen-yr-heol, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Pen-yr-heol: your questions answered

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is it worth repairing rather 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.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Pen-yr-heol and the rest of Merthyr Tydfil. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Keep wood oiled

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

What affects the price in Pen-yr-heol

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Pen-yr-heol. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Why repair rather than replace?

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Read our prices page.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

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.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Water-swollen laminate

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

Materials we repair

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

Repairs by material

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
