Materials and what they mean for the repair

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For anyone letting property in or around Ynys-fach, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. 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.

Signs you need worktop repair in Ynys-fach

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • A damaged sink edge
  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • Scratches and knife marks
  • A dent from a dropped pan

How to compare quotes

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire worktop, we can price the job without visiting.

Ynys-fach questions

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

In most cases. A picture lets us check.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do you cover Ynys-fach?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Ynys-fach and the rest of Merthyr Tydfil. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire worktop and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone

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

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
