FAQs for Mail
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
In most cases. A picture lets us check what’s possible.
How much do I need to move?
Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Are there extra charges for Mail?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, filled and polished to match.

What else we do in Mail
Different materials, different repairs
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the rest of the kitchen.
- We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
- The repair is sealed and polished to match.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Advice
Signs you need worktop repair in Mail
Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans leave burns, knives leave scratches, and heavy pans chip the edges.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Dents and gouges
- Damage from fitting or building work
- Scorch marks from pans
- Scratches and knife marks
Questions to ask before booking
- How long it needs to cure
- What aftercare is recommended
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Repairing versus replacing in Mail
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Our worktop repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why book with us

- Colour mixed on the day to match

Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
