On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Grangetown. The price reflects:
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Clean spills right away
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
When to call us in Grangetown
Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, so cracks and chips frequently start there.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Chips caused during installation
- Dents and gouges
- Chipped corners
- Chips in quartz or granite
Questions to ask before booking
- How soon you can use it again
- How your room will be protected
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
What your worktop is made of matters
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Failed support under the worktop
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Laminate
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
- Quartz
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
