Repairing versus replacing in Pontrhydyfen

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why Pontrhydyfen customers choose us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

See our prices page.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Clean spills immediately
  • Re-oil timber worktops

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

Common questions in Pontrhydyfen

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How do I get a price for worktop repair in Pontrhydyfen?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you come to Pontrhydyfen?

We do. Technicians travel to Pontrhydyfen from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Are there extra charges for Pontrhydyfen?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Neath Port Talbot, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The process

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Different materials, different repairs

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Common problems we fix in Pontrhydyfen

Sink and hob cut-outs are weak points, so cracks and chips often start there.

  • Knife marks
