Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep wood oiled
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
