10 questions to ask before booking

Worktop repair in Melplash, done in place

A damaged worktop doesn’t have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. We are often asked to fix chips near the sink and a chipped edge, across solid wood, quartz and laminate.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Repair or replace in Melplash?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Why Melplash customers choose us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

See our prices page.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Melplash, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Melplash questions

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

What does worktop repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DT6 postcode.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Landlord and trade work in Melplash

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Do not knock pans against the edge

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

How it works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage
