Materials and what they mean for the repair
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.
Worktop repair in St Nicholas without replacing anything
Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. Common call-outs are for chipped corners and chips near the sink, on quartz, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian).
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cardiff.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
What we cannot put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
- Quartz
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Re-oil timber worktops
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills right away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

Your questions about worktop repair in St Nicholas
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you cover the whole of Cardiff?
We cover the entire UK, including St Nicholas and the rest of Cardiff. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. A repair is matched to what you have now. Our worktop repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for St Nicholas. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
