About our worktop repair in Meadvale
A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. We work on quartz, solid wood and granite & marble, and people most often call us about damage from fitting or building work and chipped corners.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Meadvale as everywhere else we work.

What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed and polished to match.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can

What affects the price in Meadvale
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
You don’t need a survey visit. 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.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Meadvale

Repairs by material
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

What else we do in Meadvale
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- A top that moves on its units
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Solid wood
- Laminate
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
