Repairing versus replacing in Lancing

Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Lancing

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Take a look at our full price list.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.

When we’d advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Solid wood
  • Quartz
  • Granite & marble
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Laminate

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Lancing. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire worktop, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Do you need worktop repair in Lancing?

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Chips near the sink
  • A chipped edge
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • A chipped quartz edge

What your quote should include

  • How to look after the finish
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • When it can be used again

10 questions to ask before you book

Lancing questions

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Usually, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

Do you work in Lancing?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Lancing and the rest of West Sussex. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Are you accredited?

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

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

Landlord and trade work in Lancing

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
