Why repair rather than replace?
Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why book with us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Most jobs done in one visit

- Nothing taken out or refitted

Do you need worktop repair in Gabalfa?
Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.
The things customers usually mention when they call include:
- A heat mark or burn
- Dents and gouges
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
- Cuts and scratches in the surface
Before booking anyone
- What aftercare is recommended
- How soon you can use it again
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gabalfa use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
For anyone letting property in or around Gabalfa, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Clean spills immediately
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Dry around the sink and joints
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Questions from Gabalfa
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
In most cases. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you what’s possible.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
