Repair or replace in Gurnett?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Gurnett
- Colour mixed on the day to match

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Clean spills straight away
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
What your worktop is made of matters
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.
Questions from Gurnett
How do I get a price for worktop repair in Gurnett?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Gurnett and the rest of Cheshire East. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
