Worktop repair in Trevethin

How we handle worktop repair in Trevethin

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the area around the damage covered. Most jobs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. Common call-outs are for scratches and knife marks and chips caused during installation, across laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Torfaen.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

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

Materials we work on in Trevethin

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

Questions from Trevethin

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Only the area we’re working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Common problems we fix in Trevethin

Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans leave burns, knives leave scratches, and heavy pans chip the edges.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Scratches and knife marks
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Scorch marks from pans

Questions to ask before you book

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How the colour is matched
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Our hiring checklist

Repairs by material

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

Should you replace it?

A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.
