Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sutton as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What your worktop is made of matters

Granite and stone

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

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For a price in Sutton, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Repair or replace in Sutton?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Sutton

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • A fixed quote before booking

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Use a chopping board
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

Sutton questions

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, filled and polished to match.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Are there extra charges for Sutton?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Common problems we fix in Sutton

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans leave burns, knives cut, and heavy pans chip the edges.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Chips in quartz or granite

What your quote should include

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What prep work is covered
  • How soon you can use it again
