Repairs by material

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

About our worktop repair in Bradwell

Laminate, quartz, granite, solid surface and wooden worktops can all be repaired, with colour and pattern matched by hand. The worktop stays in place. We regularly repair solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble, and the jobs we see most are a chipped quartz edge and scorch marks from pans.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Common questions in Bradwell

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Do you work in Bradwell?

We do. We send a technician to Bradwell for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes, frequently. We match the colour and polish the repair.

Can landlords book you?

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

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Are there extra charges for Bradwell?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Failed support under the worktop

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Clean spills straight away
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Do not let water sit on joints

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Bradwell

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

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.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, and that is where cracks frequently begin.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A damaged sink edge
  • Chipped corners
  • Gouges in the surface
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface

Before booking anyone

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • When it can be used again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How your room will be protected

10 questions to ask before you book

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
