How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Butetown. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Butetown

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 generally the cheaper route.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we are called out for in Butetown

Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, and that’s where cracks often begin.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Chips caused during installation
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Damage around the sink cut-out

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What preparation is included
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

When a repair is not the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

What your worktop is made of matters

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Clean spills straight away
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Dry around the sink and joints

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.

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

Common questions in Butetown

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Do you cover the entire of Cardiff?

Across the UK, and that includes Butetown. Prices don’t change with location.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
