How we handle worktop repair in Wickstreet
A damaged worktop doesn’t have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. Whether it’s chips in quartz or granite and chips near the sink, we can usually put it right.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Use a chopping board
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Wickstreet
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
Why repair rather than replace?
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Wickstreet
- One visit for most repairs
- We leave the room as we found it
- Colour-matched on site
- No need to remove anything

Wickstreet questions
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Only around the repair. You can typically still use the rest of the kitchen.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- 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
- Open a window if you can
- Ensure the area is dry
Getting a price

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Send photos for a quote
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your BN26 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What else we do in Wickstreet
Different materials, different repairs
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
Landlord and trade work in Wickstreet
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in East Sussex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
