FAQs for Porthgwidden
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Only the area we’re working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
Can you match granite flecks?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Usually, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Repairs by material
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. 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.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Porthgwidden. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it

- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
