Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Never put hot pans down directly

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cove Bay

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Aberdeen and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole worktop

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What we’re called out for in Cove Bay

Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, and that’s where cracks often begin.

People typically call us after spotting something like this:

  • A chipped edge
  • A damaged sink edge
  • Burns from hot pans
  • A dent from a dropped pan

Before booking anyone

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether the price covers travel

How to compare quotes

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common questions in Cove Bay

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you cover the entire of Aberdeen?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Cove Bay. Prices do not change with location.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Generally, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
