How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Clean spills right away
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Landlord and trade work in Halwell
