What your worktop is made of matters
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.
Worktop repair in Hethel, done in place
Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. If you are dealing with chips near the sink and chipped corners, we can help, on quartz, laminate and solid wood alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Clean spills straight away
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills straight away, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Water-swollen laminate
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Why repair rather than replace?
Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Hethel
- No need to remove anything
- One visit for most repairs
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- No extra charge for your area
