Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
What we are called out for in Melness
Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, so cracks and chips frequently start there.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Burns from hot pans
- Chipped corners
- Dents and gouges
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
Before booking anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Who will actually do the work
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Different materials, different repairs
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

FAQs for Melness
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How much does worktop repair cost in Melness?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Our worktop repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Melness. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the rest of the kitchen.
- We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
