Worktop repair in Meldreth without replacing anything
A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen. Most repairs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. We work on laminate, quartz and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are chips caused during installation and a chipped quartz edge.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Questions from Meldreth
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you match granite flecks?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cambridgeshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace: which is better?

What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- Failed support under the worktop
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Granite & marble
- Quartz
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use a chopping board
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Oil wooden tops regularly
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
