Dolphin - Options to check USB flashdisk for errors

when i have corrupted USB flashdisk 
(for example a didnt umount it correctly before),
so it contains some errors, 

1) i mount it with widget 'Device manager', and can see context in dolphin
2) but there is sometimes problems with reading or writing, it is too slow (because of errors)

Suggest
=======
1) add options 
(when right click in doplhin on flashdisk name - see screenshot)
to check USB flashdisk for errors - something like 'check for errors'
2) sure i can do it with 'fsck', but my mum doesnt know this tool and is not able to use it...

in Microsoft WIndows XP / Vista / 7:

tool 'check this device for errors' is automatically shown, when 
the USB flashdisk with some errors is plugin, this behaviour
is great thinkg for usability

Since Plasma 6.4, the Disks & Devices widget checks and offers to repair the disks if it finds errors in them. https://kde.org/announcements/plasma/6/6.4.0/
What happens though if we use Dolphin to mount the device?
