Worktop repair near Roche

Worktop repair at your home in Roche

A damaged worktop doesn’t have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. Our repair technicians work on solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and granite & marble, and common reasons people contact us are burns from hot pans and chipped corners.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

When to call us in Roche

Edges and corners chip most often, frequently when something heavy catches the edge.

The things clients usually mention when they call are:

  • Gouges in the surface
  • Chipped corners
  • A heat mark or burn
  • Damage from fitting or building work

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Aftercare advice
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Our hiring checklist

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Solid wood
  • Granite & marble
  • Quartz
  • Laminate
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

What affects the price in Roche

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A picture taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Repairing versus replacing in Roche

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. 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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Roche

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

See our prices page.

Different materials, different repairs

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
