Common questions in Forbes
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Do you cover the entire of Aberdeenshire?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Forbes. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean spills right away
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Keep wood oiled
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
There is 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.
Related advice
Landlord and trade work in Forbes
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
What affects the price in Forbes
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Forbes. What changes the price is:
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
What we’re called out for in Forbes
Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans leave burns, knives leave scratches, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A heat mark or burn
- Chips on edges and corners
- A chipped quartz edge
- Scratches and knife marks
Questions to ask before booking
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who turns up on the day
- If travel is included in the price
Different materials, different repairs
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
