Advice
Worktop repair at your home in Higher Porthpean
A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. We regularly repair quartz, laminate and solid wood, and common reasons people get in touch are burns from hot pans and damage to a stone worktop.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Should you replace it?
If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is typically far better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Higher Porthpean
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
See our pricing.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Clean spills immediately
- Re-oil timber worktops
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Repairs by material
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

Common questions in Higher Porthpean
Can I get a quote without a visit?

What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole worktop and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
