The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported

Materials we work on in Porth
- Quartz
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean spills immediately
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
Porth: your questions answered
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes, frequently. The repair is colour matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
In most cases. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What we’re called out for in Porth
Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, and that is where cracks frequently begin.

Should you replace it?
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. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What affects the price in Porth
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole worktop
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
