How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Open a window if you can

Common questions in Dunkirk
How much does worktop repair cost in Dunkirk?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your ME13 postcode.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you work in Dunkirk?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Dunkirk from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Frequently, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.
Why repair rather than replace?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Dunkirk
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- A fixed quote before you book
- Work done at your home or business
See our prices page.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Use a chopping board
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Re-oil timber worktops
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills right away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
Landlord and trade work in Dunkirk
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
What affects the price in Dunkirk
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
For a price in Dunkirk, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Do you need worktop repair in Dunkirk?
The worst damage often happens in a moment: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.
People generally call us after spotting something like this:
- A heat mark or burn
- Gouges in the surface
- Chips caused during installation
- Knife marks
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.
