Worktop repair for Pitcaple homes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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.

Worktop repair in Pitcaple, done in place

The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand so the repair blends in. We regularly repair granite & marble, quartz and laminate, and people most frequently call us about scratches and knife marks and burns from hot pans.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Aberdeenshire.

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans leave burns, knives leave scratches, and heavy pans chip the edges.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Chips caused during installation
  • Dents and gouges
  • Chips in quartz or granite

Comparing quotes

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Who will actually do the work

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Pitcaple questions

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Are there extra charges for Pitcaple?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can you match granite flecks?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.

Do you work in Pitcaple?

We do. We send a technician to Pitcaple for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your AB51 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Pitcaple. The price reflects:

  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

If you are in Pitcaple and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

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, repair is typically far better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why Pitcaple clients choose us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Work done at your home or business

Take a look at our prices page.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
