Worktop repair for Caerau homes

Repair or replace: which is better?

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why Caerau clients choose us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • A fixed quote before you book

See our prices page.

Worktop repair at your home in Caerau

Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand. If you are dealing with damage around the sink cut-out and a chipped edge, we can usually put it right.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Caerau

  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Granite & marble

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

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 normally the cheaper route.

What your worktop is made of matters

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Laminate

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

Caerau questions

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

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.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

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

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Related advice

When to call us in Caerau

Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans leave burns, knives leave scratches, and heavy pans chip the edges.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Dents and gouges
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Chips near the sink
  • Scratches and knife marks

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How to care for the finish
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
