Worktop repair in Balmedie

About our worktop repair in Balmedie

Burns from hot pans, chips on edges and scratches from knives are the most common worktop repairs. All are repaired in place. We work on solid wood, laminate and quartz, and common reasons people contact us are a chipped edge and snagging damage in a new kitchen.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

If you manage property in Balmedie, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Different materials, different repairs

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • A top that moves on its units

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Laminate
  • Quartz
  • Granite & marble
  • Solid wood
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)

Common problems we fix in Balmedie

10 questions to ask before booking

The process

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use a chopping board
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Dry around the sink and joints

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

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

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

FAQs for Balmedie

Do you cover the entire of Aberdeen?

We work UK-wide, so Balmedie is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Do you cover Balmedie?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Balmedie. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Balmedie.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
