About our worktop repair in Wenvoe
Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. We build up the colour and flecks by hand. We’re frequently asked to fix a heat mark or burn and damage to a stone worktop, across laminate, solid wood and solid surface (such as Corian).
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Wenvoe and across Cardiff.

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CF5 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Wenvoe, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Wipe up spills quickly
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Common questions in Wenvoe
Can you match granite flecks?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Are there extra charges for Wenvoe?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you cover the entire of Cardiff?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How much do I need to move?
Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
