How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Llanishen. What changes the price is:
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- The material
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CF14 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Common problems we fix in Llanishen
Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.
People generally call us after spotting one of these:
- Scorch marks from pans
- A damaged sink edge
- A chipped edge
- Cuts and scratches in the surface
What your quote should include
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the colour is matched
- What aftercare is recommended
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
What your worktop is made of matters
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
Llanishen: your questions answered
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Usually. A picture lets us check.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Keep a trivet by the hob
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- 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.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Open a window if you can
