DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Related advice

Should you replace it?

A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Bury Road

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Water-swollen laminate

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Bury Road

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

  • Whether they match the colour on site

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Bury Road

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Bury Road. What changes the price is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Common questions in Bury Road

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes, frequently. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

How much does worktop repair cost in Bury Road?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
