Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Common problems we fix in Potterton

The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

Common reasons people in Potterton contact us are:

  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Scratches and knife marks

Choosing a repair company

Why repair rather than replace?

A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why Potterton customers choose us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

See our pricing.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

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

Materials we repair

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

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Your questions about worktop repair in Potterton

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Potterton.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just near the damage. You can normally still use the rest of the kitchen.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do you cover the whole of Aberdeen?

All of Aberdeen, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is it messy?

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

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

In most cases. A picture lets us check what’s possible.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Repairs by material

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
