How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Related advice

Landlord and trade work in Maindy

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

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 matters when someone is living in the home.

Maindy: your questions answered

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do you cover the whole of Cardiff?

We cover the entire UK, including Maindy and the rest of Cardiff. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

How much do I need to move?

Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Are there extra charges for Maindy?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No need to remove anything

See our prices page.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Don’t let water sit on joints

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Different materials, different repairs

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Failed support under the worktop

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

  • Quartz
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Granite & marble
  • Solid wood
  • Laminate

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Maindy. What changes the price is:

  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A picture taken from further back

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
