Worktop repair in Y Drenewydd without replacing anything
You do not need a new worktop because of one mark. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. We work on granite & marble, solid wood and solid surface (such as Corian), and common reasons people contact us are dents and gouges and chips near the sink.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- A top that moves on its units
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Laminate
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
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.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Y Drenewydd use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SY16 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Repairing versus replacing in Y Drenewydd
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is generally far better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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’ll get a fixed figure.
