Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

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

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Different materials, different repairs

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.

What we’re called out for in Boardy Green

Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans scorch, knives leave scratches, and heavy pans chip the edges.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Burns from hot pans
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Damage around the sink cut-out

What to look for in a quote

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What happens if they find more damage

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Boardy Green

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

If you manage property in Boardy Green, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. 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 no extras added later.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Boardy Green

  • Everything repaired in place
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Boardy Green questions

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Normally. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Do you cover the entire of Suffolk?

The whole UK, including all of Suffolk. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
