Worktop repair for Roath homes

Worktop repair in Roath without replacing anything

Each type of worktop needs a different approach: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. We always aim for a repair that blends in. If you are dealing with damage from fitting or building work and chips on edges and corners, we can usually put it right.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

What we can’t put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Roath

  • Quartz

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

The process

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access

FAQs for Roath

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

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

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

Why repair rather than replace?

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
