Worktop repair in Melling Mount

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Worktop repair in Melling Mount without replacing anything

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Whether it’s damage from fitting or building work and scratches and knife marks, we can usually put it right.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

When to call us in Melling Mount

Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans scorch, knives cut, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Knife marks
  • Gouges in the surface
  • Damage around the sink cut-out

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix 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.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Re-oil timber worktops

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills right away, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Should you replace it?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
