25 Years In The Trade.

Our Story
From The
Founder.
— Paul Dorning
“I started Surface Magic after seeing how often perfectly good surfaces were being ripped out and replaced when they could have been repaired properly. What began as a practical repair service has grown into a trusted specialist business helping homeowners, landlords, contractors and commercial clients save time, money and disruption.”
“I take pride in restoring damaged surfaces back to a high standard, whether it's chips, scratches, cracks, stains, or wear on hard surfaces. For me, Surface Magic is built on honest advice, skilled workmanship and the belief that replacement should not always be the first option.”
After 25 years in the construction industry — first on the tools, then leading specialist repair teams across the North West — the same pattern kept coming up. A chipped acrylic bath. A burn mark on a brand-new worktop. A scratched cladding panel signed off by the developer but rejected by the buyer. In nearly every case, a specialist repair would save thousands compared with a full replacement, and most of the time the surface could go back into use the rapid response.
That's the business Surface Magic is built around: honest advice on what's worth repairing and what isn't, professional-grade materials and colour matching, and a rapid response appointments promise that means the bathroom, kitchen or commercial unit doesn't sit out of action for a week.
