When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

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

What we work on

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

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your NP18 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills right away, and keep wooden tops oiled.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

Common questions in Ponthir

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Newport. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Typically. Send us a photo and we will tell you what’s possible.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Are there extra charges for Ponthir?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do you need worktop repair in Ponthir?

Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, and that is where cracks often begin.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • A damaged sink edge
  • Chips on edges and corners

What to look for in a quote

  • How to care for the finish
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What happens if they find more damage

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
