Materials and what they mean for the repair

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
Worktop repair at your home in Poltimore
Different worktops need different repairs: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. The goal is always a repair that blends in. If you’re dealing with a chipped edge and damage to a stone worktop, we can help.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

What else we do in Poltimore
When to call us in Poltimore
Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans leave burns, knives leave scratches, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.
People typically call us when they notice one of these:
- Chips caused during installation
- Chips in quartz or granite
- Burns from hot pans
- Scratches and knife marks
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- What preparation is included
- If travel is included in the price
- How to look after the finish
How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Poltimore. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire worktop
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your EX4 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Poltimore as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Why repair rather than replace?
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Poltimore. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Poltimore
- Colour-matched on site
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Typically, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

- We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
