Materials and what they mean for the repair

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Use a chopping board

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

Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

  • A chipped edge
  • A chipped quartz edge

10 questions to ask before booking

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repair or replace in Branscombe?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. 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 Branscombe. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Branscombe

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We leave the room as we found it

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
