What affects the price in Longcot
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Worktop repair in Longcot, done in place
Pan burns, chipped edges and knife scratches make up most of our worktop work. All are repaired in place. We regularly repair quartz, solid wood and laminate, and common reasons people get in touch are a chipped quartz edge and gouges in the surface.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting 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 will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

Materials we work on in Longcot
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble
- Quartz
- Solid wood
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Wipe up spills quickly
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.
Why repair rather than replace?
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. Prices start from £95. 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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Longcot
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- A fixed quote before booking
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
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.
