Countertop Contractor
Need countertop installation or repair in Dubai or Sharjah? You found the right guys. We’re UAR Decor and we been doing kitchen countertops, bathroom worktops, and all kinds of surface work across the UAE for over 8 years now.
The thing about countertops here in Dubai and Sharjah – this climate is brutal on materials. The heat, humidity, and temperature changes will crack cheap stone or make poor installation fall apart fast. We seen way too many botched jobs where some contractor used wrong materials or didn’t install it right. Then 6 months later you got cracks, chips, or water damage.
That’s not how we work. We use proper materials that handle our crazy weather and install everything right the first time. Our work comes with real warranties because we actually stand behind what we do.

Materials We Work With
Granite: Our most popular. Handles heat great, looks natural, each slab is unique. Black galaxy and white ice are big sellers here.
Quartz: Engineered stone that’s really consistent. Caesarstone and Silestone are good brands we use. Great for modern kitchens.
Marble: Fancy stuff like Carrara white or Calacatta gold. Beautiful but needs more maintenance. Only for people who will take care of it.
Solid Surface: Corian type materials. Good for commercial use, easy to repair, comes in lots of colors.
Laminate: Budget option. Formica makes decent stuff that looks ok for basic kitchens.
We don’t use cheap Chinese stone or materials that can’t handle the UAE climate. Everything we install is tested to work here.

Countertop Installation Case Studies
Large Kitchen Island in Arabian Ranches Villa
Had this family wanted huge granite island for their kitchen but the existing support wasn’t strong enough. The granite slab they picked weighed over 400kg.
We worked with structural engineer to add proper support beams. Installed black galaxy granite with waterfall edges on both sides. Added under-cabinet lighting to show off the stone patterns.
Result: Kitchen became the showpiece of their home. Granite has held up perfect for 3 years now with heavy daily use. No cracks or problems at all.
Restaurant Kitchen Renovation in Dubai Marina
Busy restaurant needed new prep surfaces that could handle constant cleaning and food prep. Their old laminate counters were staining and showing wear bad.
We installed commercial-grade quartz throughout the whole kitchen. Used integrated sinks and special edge profiles. Added anti-bacterial surface treatment that health department requires.
Result: Restaurant passed health inspections with no problems. Owner said cleanup time got cut in half and kitchen still looks brand new after 2 years of heavy use.
Small Apartment Kitchen in Sharjah
Young couple had tiny kitchen but wanted maximum counter space without making it look crowded. Budget was tight but they wanted quality materials.
We used light-colored quartz to make space feel bigger. Created breakfast bar that doubles as prep space. Matched the backsplash perfect to make it all flow together.
Result: Apartment sold for 15% above asking price when they moved. Multiple buyers mentioned the new countertops specifically as reason they wanted to buy it.
Common Countertop Problems We Fix
Heat Damage: Cracks from hot pots placed directly on stone. We can repair most of these.

Poor Installation: Gaps, uneven surfaces, wrong adhesives. We fix other contractor’s mistakes all the time.
Staining: Natural stone that wasn’t sealed proper. We can usually restore and seal it right.
Chips and Cracks: Daily wear and tear damage. Most chips can be repaired to look like new.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How much do granite countertops cost in Dubai?
Depends on the granite type and size. Basic granite starts around AED 200 per sq ft installed. High-end stuff can be AED 500+ per sq ft. We give exact quotes after measuring.
2. What's better - granite or quartz for Dubai climate?
Both work great here. Granite needs sealing every year or two. Quartz never needs sealing but costs more upfront. Really depends on your budget and maintenance preference.
3. How long does countertop installation take?
Usually 1-2 days after we finish cutting at our workshop. The cutting takes 7-10 days from when we do measurements.
4. Can you repair granite cracks?
Yeah, most granite cracks can be repaired. Depends how big and where the crack is. We use special adhesives and polish to make repairs nearly invisible.
5. Do you work on weekends for countertop installation?
Sure, we try to work around your schedule. Weekend installs are popular because people don’t want their kitchen torn up during the week.
6. What if my granite gets stained?
Most stains can be removed with proper cleaning and polishing. Oil stains are trickiest but we got techniques to pull them out. Prevention is better though – seal your granite regular.
7. Can you match existing granite if I want to add more?
Natural stone varies a lot, so exact matches are hard. We keep samples of what we installed and can usually find close matches. Sometimes we recommend redoing the whole thing for consistent look.
8. What permits do I need for countertop installation?
Most countertop jobs don’t need permits from Dubai Municipality. But we check with your building management if needed. Commercial jobs sometimes need approvals.
9. How do I maintain my countertops in Dubai climate?
Depends on material. Granite needs yearly sealing and regular cleaning. Quartz just needs basic cleaning. We give you care instructions and recommend good products.
10. Can you install countertops around existing appliances?
Absolutely. We template around dishwashers, cooktops, sinks – whatever you got. We can also coordinate with appliance installers if you’re getting new stuff.
11. What's the difference between marble and granite?
Marble is softer and more porous – stains and scratches easier but looks more elegant. Granite is harder and more practical for kitchens. Marble is better for bathrooms or low-use areas.
12. Do you repair laminate countertops too?
Yeah, we can fix peeling edges, bubbles, chips, and burns on laminate. Sometimes it’s better to replace with real stone though – laminate repairs don’t last as long.
13. Can you do outdoor BBQ countertops?
That’s one of our specialties. We use sealed granite or special outdoor materials that handle sun, heat, and sandstorms. Regular indoor materials don’t work outside here.
