Repairs by material
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Failed support under the worktop
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
- Quartz

Advice
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Oldham and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What affects the price in Top o' th' Meadows
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- One picture of the whole worktop
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
Questions from Top o' th' Meadows
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, filled and polished to match.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Are there extra charges for Top o' th' Meadows?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do you need worktop repair in Top o' th' Meadows?
Sink and hob cut-outs are weak points, so cracks and chips often start there.
