Worktop repair in Trevia

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Trevia, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Worktop repair in Trevia, done in place

We repair worktops in place, with the area around the damage covered. Most repairs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. Common call-outs are for a heat mark or burn and chips caused during installation, in quartz, granite & marble and solid wood.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.

Trevia questions

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you quote from pictures?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Often, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Are you accredited?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Wipe up spills quickly

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills straight away, and keep wooden tops oiled.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Trevia, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

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. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Trevia

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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