Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
Most clients in The Common get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

FAQs for The Common
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you cover the whole of Swansea?
Everywhere in the UK, The Common included. Travel is included in the price.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do you need worktop repair in The Common?
Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, which can cause swelling.

- A damaged sink edge
- Chips in quartz or granite
- Damage from fitting or building work

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Clean spills immediately
- Keep a trivet by the hob
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
