Questions from Westmuir

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Can you match granite flecks?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Are you accredited?

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

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Worktop repair in Westmuir without replacing anything

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. Common call-outs are for cuts and scratches in the surface and damage from fitting or building work, in solid wood, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian).

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Why repair rather than replace?

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Our worktop repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Westmuir. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Westmuir

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

See our prices page.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Dry around the sink and joints

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

What affects the price in Westmuir

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from pictures

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Westmuir, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Different materials, different repairs

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.
