Common questions in Newport-on-Tay
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Only the area we’re working on. The rest is covered and protected.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Do you come to Newport-on-Tay?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Newport-on-Tay from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Repairs by material
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
Work for landlords and builders
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.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
- Failed support under the worktop
- Severe heat marks in quartz
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Newport-on-Tay
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
- Quartz
- Laminate
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Dry around the sink and joints
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
