Worktop repair in Ystradgynlais without replacing anything
A damaged worktop doesn’t have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the pattern. We work on solid wood, quartz and solid surface (such as Corian), and the jobs we see most are knife marks and chipped corners.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Common problems we fix in Ystradgynlais
Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, which can cause swelling.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A chipped quartz edge
- Chips caused during installation
- Scratches and knife marks
- Gouges in the surface
What to look for in a quote
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How soon you can use it again
- How changes to the job are handled
- Who will actually do the work
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Common questions in Ystradgynlais
Do you repair quartz?
Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you match granite flecks?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Ystradgynlais. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Repairs by material
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Keep wood oiled
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
