Worktop repair in Pwll-coch, done in place
Different worktops need different repairs: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. The goal is always a repair that blends in. We regularly repair granite & marble, quartz and solid surface (such as Corian), and people most frequently call us about damage around the sink cut-out and snagging damage in a new kitchen.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Pwll-coch and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What your worktop is made of matters
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Pwll-coch: your questions answered
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
Typically. A photo lets us check what’s possible.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What does worktop repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.

How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Use a chopping board
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills immediately, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Pwll-coch. The price reflects:
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
