Worktop repair in Shireoaks, done in place

A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. Whether it’s a chipped edge and a heat mark or burn, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a few hours.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Work for landlords and builders

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.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Do you need worktop repair in Shireoaks?

Sink and hob cut-outs are weak points, so cracks and chips frequently start there.

  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Chips caused during installation
  • Damage around the sink cut-out

Before booking anyone

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long it needs to cure

Shireoaks questions

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Nottinghamshire.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

In most cases. A picture lets us check.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Nottinghamshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Shireoaks

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Colour-matched on site
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We leave the room as we found it

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Wipe up spills quickly

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

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, then guarantee it for a year.
