Worktop repair for Pontprennau homes

What we cannot put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Worktop repair at your home in Pontprennau

Laminate, quartz, granite, solid surface and wooden worktops can all be repaired, with colour and pattern matched by hand. The worktop stays in place. Common call-outs are for chips near the sink and burns from hot pans, on quartz, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian).

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repairing versus replacing in Pontprennau

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Pontprennau: your questions answered

Do you come to Pontprennau?

We do. We send a technician to Pontprennau for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

How do I get a price for worktop repair in Pontprennau?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CF23 postcode.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re 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. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Clean spills straight away
  • Do not knock pans against the edge

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

What your worktop is made of matters

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
