DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- A top that moves on its units
- Discolouration deep in quartz

Should you replace it?
An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. A repair is matched to what you have now. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What we’re called out for in Peldon
Sink and hob cut-outs are weak points, so cracks and chips frequently start there.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Dents and gouges
- Scorch marks from pans
- A damaged sink edge
- Chipped corners
What to look for in a quote
- How long it needs to cure
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Dry around the sink and joints
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
Your questions about worktop repair in Peldon
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you match granite flecks?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the area is dry
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and 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.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
