DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Worktop repair in South Marston without replacing anything
Each type of worktop needs a different approach: 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. We regularly repair solid wood, quartz and solid surface (such as Corian), and common reasons people get in touch are chipped corners and damage from fitting or building work.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Questions from South Marston
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes, frequently. We match the colour and polish the repair.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What affects the price in South Marston
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
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.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire worktop
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep wood oiled
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Clean spills right away
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills immediately, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
Should you replace it?
Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. 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 South Marston
- One visit for most repairs
- Rooms protected and left tidy
