How we handle worktop repair in Mercaston

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the area around the damage covered. Most jobs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. We work on solid wood, quartz and granite & marble, and common reasons people contact us are chips caused during installation and damage to a stone worktop.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Landlord and trade work in Mercaston

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Mercaston use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

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

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

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. Our worktop repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why Mercaston clients choose us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

FAQs for Mercaston

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.

How do I get a price for worktop repair in Mercaston?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your DE6 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
