How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Rhyd-y-car, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
Landlord and trade work in Rhyd-y-car
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
FAQs for Rhyd-y-car
Do you come to Rhyd-y-car?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Rhyd-y-car from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Usually. A photo lets us check what’s possible.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Rhyd-y-car. Prices don’t change with location.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Only the area we are working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
Can you match granite flecks?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- Failed support under the worktop
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Laminate
- Granite & marble
- Quartz
- Solid wood
