Worktop repair near Mellis

Worktop repair in Mellis, done in place

We repair worktops in place, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. Typical jobs include knife marks and a damaged sink edge, on solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Mellis and across Suffolk.

Landlord and trade work in Mellis

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

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

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Water-swollen laminate

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Work done at your home or business

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Re-oil timber worktops

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.

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 won’t last.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Common problems we fix in Mellis

The worst damage often happens in a moment: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • Knife marks
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Chips caused during installation
