Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Keep wood oiled
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills straight away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Failed support under the worktop
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
