How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Ousden. The price reflects:
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
How we handle worktop repair in Ousden
Burns from hot pans, chips on edges and scratches from knives are the most common worktop repairs. All are repaired in place. We work on solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and granite & marble, and the jobs we see most are chips in quartz or granite and chips near the sink.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cambridgeshire.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Clean spills right away
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
When to call us in Ousden
The worst damage often happens in a moment: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Damage from fitting or building work
- Damage around the sink cut-out
- A chipped quartz edge
- A dent from a dropped pan
Before booking anyone
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How soon you can use it again
- If travel is included in the price
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, 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 Ousden
- Nothing taken out or refitted

How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
