About our worktop repair in Melverley

A damaged worktop doesn’t have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. Common call-outs are for chipped corners and dents and gouges, across quartz, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian).

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • No need to remove anything
  • One price list for the entire UK

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material

If you’re in Melverley and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Clean spills straight away

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Shropshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Melverley

Common questions in Melverley

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you come to Melverley?

We do. We send a technician to Melverley for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you quote from photos?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Signs you need worktop repair in Melverley

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Burns from hot pans
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Chips caused during installation
  • Scratches and knife marks
