Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Keep wood oiled
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Use a chopping board
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Common questions in Ball o' Ditton

Is a burnt worktop repairable?
In most cases. A picture lets us check.
How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
