Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hamister use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Worktop repair at your home in Hamister
The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. We build up the colour and flecks by hand. We regularly repair solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and solid wood, and people most often call us about scorch marks from pans and chips on edges and corners.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
What affects the price in Hamister
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For a price in Hamister, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the rest of the kitchen.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
- The repair is sealed and polished to match.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available

What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
- Water-swollen laminate
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
- Quartz
Should you replace it?
Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Hamister
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
