DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Mile End, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is usually far better value. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Mile End
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
