About our worktop repair in Upper Brailes
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. If you’re dealing with scorch marks from pans and snagging damage in a new kitchen, we can help.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Upper Brailes as everywhere else we work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Oxfordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Water-swollen laminate
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Laminate
- Solid wood
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
What affects the price in Upper Brailes
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Upper Brailes. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos 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
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- One picture of the whole worktop
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Upper Brailes
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- One visit for most repairs

Upper Brailes: your questions answered
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What does worktop repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

- Snagging damage in a new kitchen

How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your OX15 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Related advice
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Use a chopping board
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
