Repair or replace in Pelton?
Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Common problems we fix in Pelton
Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans leave burns, knives leave scratches, and heavy pans chip the edges.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Damage from fitting or building work
- Chips near the sink

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire worktop, we can price the job.
Advice
What else we do in Pelton
How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Pelton. The price depends on:
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Pelton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Pelton questions
Do you cover Pelton?
We do. We send a technician to Pelton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
How much does worktop repair cost in Pelton?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you match granite flecks?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
Different materials, different repairs
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
