Worktop repair in Waddon without replacing anything
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 regularly repair granite & marble, solid wood and quartz, and common reasons people contact us are a chipped quartz edge and chipped corners.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dorset.

Waddon: your questions answered
Do you repair quartz?
Yes, frequently. The repair is colour matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you cover the whole of Dorset?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.
What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your DT3 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

When to call us in Waddon
Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, which can cause swelling.
People usually call us when they notice one of these:
- Chips near the sink
- Damage to a stone worktop
- A dent from a dropped pan
- Burns from hot pans
Questions to ask before you book
- If travel is included in the price
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- When it can be used again
What affects the price in Waddon
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- The material
- The type of damage
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Should you replace it?
Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Waddon
- Everything repaired in place
- Same prices wherever you are

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
