Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Oil wooden tops regularly
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills immediately, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
What your worktop is made of matters
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
