How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Clean spills immediately
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Landlord and trade work in Castle
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. 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 carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cardiff and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Laminate
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
- Quartz
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
Should you replace it?
A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Common questions in Castle
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole worktop and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What we are called out for in Castle
Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans scorch, knives leave scratches, and heavy pans chip the edges.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Chips on edges and corners
- Gouges in the surface
- A heat mark or burn
- Chips in quartz or granite

- How the colour is matched
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the price covers travel
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
