Worktop Repair for Palgrave homes
We travel to Palgrave for chip, burn and scratch repairs to kitchen and bathroom worktops. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- A heat mark or burn
- A damaged sink edge
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Worktop repair in Palgrave without replacing anything
A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. If you are dealing with snagging damage in a new kitchen and dents and gouges, we can help, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills right away, and keep wooden tops oiled.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
Different materials, different repairs
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
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.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Repairing versus replacing in Palgrave
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is usually far better value. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Questions from Palgrave
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Are there extra charges for Palgrave?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
