Worktop repair in Y Gurnos without replacing anything

Pan burns, chipped edges and knife scratches are the most common worktop repairs. All are repaired in place. Our repair technicians work on laminate, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian), and the jobs we see most are snagging damage in a new kitchen and damage around the sink cut-out.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Y Gurnos: your questions answered

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Do you cover Y Gurnos?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Y Gurnos and the rest of Powys. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

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