Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Oil wooden tops regularly
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Different materials, different repairs
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Your questions about worktop repair in Gwaelod-y-garth
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you cover the entire of Cardiff?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
How much do I need to move?
Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
Can you match granite flecks?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair

- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
