What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after 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. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

When to call us in Amble

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

Common reasons people in Amble contact us include:

  • Knife marks
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Burns from hot pans
  • A chipped quartz edge

What your quote should include

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How changes to the job are handled

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

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

What we can’t put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

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

What we work on

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

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Amble. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Amble

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
