Repairing versus replacing in Cotes Heath
A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Cotes Heath
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- We leave the room as we found it
- No extra charge for your area

Worktop repair in Cotes Heath without replacing anything
The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand so the repair blends in. Our technicians work on solid wood, laminate and quartz, and the jobs we see most are scorch marks from pans and a dent from a dropped pan.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Repairs by material
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Clean spills immediately
- Use a chopping board
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole worktop
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Common questions in Cotes Heath
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Are there extra charges for Cotes Heath?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Common problems we fix in Cotes Heath
Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans leave burns, knives cut, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Scratches and knife marks
- Chips in quartz or granite
- A heat mark or burn
- Dents and gouges
Before booking anyone
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the price covers travel
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
