Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Clean spills right away
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Keep joints and edges dry

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

10 questions to ask before booking

Should you replace it?

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Gomshall

  • No extra charge for your area
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Gomshall, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can price the job without visiting.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Gomshall

  • Laminate
  • Quartz

  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Solid wood

Gomshall: your questions answered

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you cover the whole of Surrey?

Across the UK, and that includes Gomshall. Prices do not change with location.

Do you come to Gomshall?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Gomshall and the rest of Surrey. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, filled and polished to match.
