Worktop Repair for Pelaw homes
We travel to Pelaw for chip, burn and scratch repairs to kitchen and bathroom worktops. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.

Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
How we handle worktop repair in Pelaw
Pan burns, chipped edges and knife scratches make up most of our worktop work. All are repaired in place. Our technicians work on laminate, quartz and granite & marble, and common reasons people get in touch are chips caused during installation and cuts and scratches in the surface.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
FAQs for Pelaw
What does worktop repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes, frequently. We match the colour and polish the repair.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
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.
Should you replace it?
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Keep wood oiled
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Wipe up spills quickly
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- A top that moves on its units
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
