Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

Do not leave spills to soak in
Steer clear of strong cleaners
Re-oil timber worktops
Use a chopping board

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

Questions from Marcroes

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What areas do you cover?

All of the Vale of Glamorgan, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes, often. We match the colour and polish the repair.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Typically. Send us a picture and we will tell you.

Do you cover Marcroes?

We do. We send a technician to Marcroes for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Getting ready for the visit

Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Let us know if it has been repaired before
Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in the Vale of Glamorgan and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Marcroes use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Repairing versus replacing in Marcroes

A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
