Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Rhayader. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
If you’re in Rhayader and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Rhayader
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Re-oil timber worktops
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Common questions in Rhayader
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
