What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Questions from Elvendon
Are there extra charges for Elvendon?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
What areas do you cover?
All of Oxfordshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

What we are called out for in Elvendon
Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans scorch, knives leave scratches, and heavy pans chip the edges.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Chips caused during installation
- Dents and gouges
- Damage to a stone worktop
- Chips on edges and corners
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What preparation is included
- What happens if they find more damage
- If travel is included in the price
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
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
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Repairs by material
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

What else we do in Elvendon
Why repair rather than replace?
A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Elvendon
- Nothing taken out or refitted

- Same prices wherever you are
- A fixed quote before you book

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use a chopping board
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Dry around the sink and joints
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills straight away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
