Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What your worktop is made of matters
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Clapham. What changes the price is:
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Clapham
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- A year’s guarantee on all work

Common questions in Clapham
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
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.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How much do I need to move?
Just near the damage. You can normally still use the rest of the kitchen.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- Failed support under the worktop
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
- Quartz
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Keep a trivet by the hob
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Clapham
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
