We repair worktops in place, with the area around the damage covered. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. We regularly repair solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and solid wood, and people most often call us about dents and gouges and cuts and scratches in the surface.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including South Pickenham. The price reflects:
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Severe heat marks in quartz
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
Repairing versus replacing in South Pickenham
Replacing a 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. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why choose Surface Doctor in South Pickenham

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Keep wood oiled
- Keep joints and edges dry
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
