DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Do not knock pans against the edge

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

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