About our worktop repair in Littledown
A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. We are frequently asked to fix chips near the sink and a chipped edge, across laminate, solid wood and solid surface (such as Corian).
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Littledown: your questions answered
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
Do you cover the entire of Dorset?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you cover Littledown?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Littledown and the rest of Dorset. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Littledown
- Fixed prices from your photos
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Work done at your home or business
- Everything repaired in place
Take a look at our prices page.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Different materials, different repairs
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
