Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Do not let water sit on joints

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Church Town

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

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.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • A top that moves on its units

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Church Town

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

Repairs by material

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Church Town questions

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you come to Church Town?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Church Town from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Church Town. The price comes down to:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
