What affects the price in Melbourn
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
- Failed support under the worktop

Your questions about worktop repair in Melbourn
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire worktop and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
Do you work in Melbourn?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Melbourn from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 won’t last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Clean spills immediately
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
