For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pontardawe use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

For anyone letting property in or around Pontardawe, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Why book with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Everything repaired in place

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Use a chopping board
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Keep a trivet by the hob

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
