The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again. For a home in Van, we normally park close by and start immediately, after agreeing the plan with you.

  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. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space clear if you can

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Use a chopping board
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Common problems we fix in Van

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

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • Gouges in the surface
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • A damaged sink edge
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface

Facilities teams at buildings such as Twyn Primary School can book us for staff kitchens too.

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

What affects the price in Van

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CF83 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. A repair is matched to what you have now. In a smaller place like Van, getting trades out for a full replacement can take time to arrange. A repair needs just one visit.

Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colour-matched on site

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Failed support under the worktop

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Laminate
