DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Most customers in Meerhay get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
When to call us in Meerhay

Questions from Meerhay
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Only the area we’re working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
Do you come to Meerhay?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Meerhay. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Different materials, different repairs
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Use a chopping board
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Oil wooden tops regularly
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
Repairing versus replacing in Meerhay
If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is usually far better value. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
