Need worktop repair in Pontcanna?

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

FAQs for Pontcanna

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

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

Can landlords book you?

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Pontcanna. The price reflects:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For a price in Pontcanna, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Should you replace it?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Clean spills straight away
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Re-oil timber worktops

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
