About our worktop repair in Tycroes
A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. We work on solid wood, quartz and solid surface (such as Corian), and the jobs we see most are cuts and scratches in the surface and damage to a stone worktop.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Tycroes as everywhere else we work.

Tycroes questions
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you match granite flecks?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Discolouration deep in quartz
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Dry around the sink and joints
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Repairing versus replacing in Tycroes
An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. A repair is matched to what you have now. Our worktop repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Tycroes

- A fixed quote before you book

Can I fix it myself?
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The material
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For a price in Tycroes, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
