Before and after: damaged granite tiles repaired in place

Landlord and trade work in Merle Common

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Should you replace it?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Everything repaired in place
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Choosing a repair company

What your worktop is made of matters

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Merle Common. The price reflects:

  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

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.

Quotes from your photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A photo taken from further back

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Merle Common questions

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Frequently, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

Do you work in Merle Common?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Merle Common. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Surrey.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

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

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
