Common questions in Splott

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire worktop and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Only the area we’re working on. The rest is covered and protected.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Splott included. Travel is included in the price.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

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

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your CF24 postcode.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

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. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairs by material

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.

Common problems we fix in Splott

The worst damage often happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Burns from hot pans
  • Knife marks
  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Chips caused during installation

Questions to ask before you book

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if they find more damage

10 questions to ask before booking

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What affects the price in Splott

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material

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

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Use a chopping board
  • Keep joints and edges dry

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

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