St Athan questions

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you match granite flecks?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in St Athan use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

How to compare quotes

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills immediately, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to St Athan. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Different materials, different repairs

Granite and stone

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

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
