About our worktop repair in St Clears

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the area around the damage covered. Most repairs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. We regularly repair solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and solid wood, and people most often call us about a damaged sink edge and a dent from a dropped pan.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What affects the price in St Clears

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit

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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Clean spills immediately

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

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

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 does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement 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. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One visit for most repairs

Questions from St Clears

Can you match granite flecks?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Normally. A photo lets us check.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

If you manage property in St Clears, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
