Need worktop repair in Rhyd-y-fro?

Why repair rather than replace?

A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
