Worktop repair in Ystrad Mynach without replacing anything

We repair worktops in place, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. We work on quartz, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian), and the jobs we see most are a damaged sink edge and damage from fitting or building work.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Ystrad Mynach and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

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

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Ystrad Mynach, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

FAQs for Ystrad Mynach

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Often, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CF82 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, 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.
