Worktop repair at your home in Usk

You don’t need a new worktop because of one mark. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. We are often asked to fix damage around the sink cut-out and cuts and scratches in the surface, in laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Keep wood oiled

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

What worktop repair costs

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

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Our hiring checklist

Your questions about worktop repair in Usk

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes, often. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Monmouthshire.

Repairs by material

Solid surface

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

Granite and stone

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

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What a repair cannot fix

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

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

Surfaces we repair

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