Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Clean spills straight away
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Common questions in Aird
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Only the area we’re working on. The rest is covered and protected.
What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Aird. The price reflects:
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the entire worktop
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice
What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- A top that moves on its units
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood
- Laminate
- Quartz
Why repair rather than replace?
If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
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.
