Worktop repair in Mellor without replacing anything

You do not need a new worktop because of one mark. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. We regularly repair solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble, and the jobs we see most are a heat mark or burn and damage from fitting or building work.

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

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Repairing versus replacing in Mellor

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

See our pricing.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repairs by material

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Clean spills straight away
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

What affects the price in Mellor

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it

There is 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 reply with a fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Mellor

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Mellor: your questions answered

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Usually. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you what’s possible.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
