What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Severe heat marks in quartz
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
- Quartz
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repair or replace in Porth Teigr?
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is generally far better value. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
