Ae: your questions answered
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, filled and polished to match.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
In most cases. A photo lets us check.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Clean spills right away
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Common problems we fix in Ae
Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Burns from hot pans
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
- Chipped corners
- A dent from a dropped pan

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What your worktop is made of matters
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What a repair can’t fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Water-swollen laminate
- A top that moves on its units
- Discolouration deep in quartz
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Ae

What affects the price in Ae
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole worktop
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
