Worktop repair for Rhydowen homes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Worktop repair in Rhydowen without replacing anything

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. Common call-outs are for chips caused during installation and dents and gouges, on solid wood, quartz and solid surface (such as Corian).

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Rhydowen and across Ceredigion.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Rhydowen, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Questions from Rhydowen

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you come to Rhydowen?

We do. We send a technician to Rhydowen for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Usually, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

What your worktop is made of matters

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Re-oil timber worktops

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Water-swollen laminate

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Laminate
  • Quartz
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Granite & marble
  • Solid wood

Repair or replace: which is better?

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. A repair is matched to what you have now. Our worktop repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Work done at your home or business

Do you need worktop repair in Rhydowen?

Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, so cracks and chips often start there.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Chips caused during installation
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
