What your worktop is made of matters

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.

What affects the price in May Bank

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Pricing is simple: 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. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Landlord and trade work in May Bank

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Stoke-on-Trent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in May Bank

  • Granite & marble
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Solid wood
  • Quartz
  • Laminate

May Bank: your questions answered

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

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.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What we’re called out for in May Bank

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Dents and gouges
  • Chips caused during installation
  • Knife marks

Before booking anyone

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How changes to the job are handled

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Clean spills right away
  • Keep wood oiled

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
