DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Solid surface

Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A top that moves on its units
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Severe heat marks in quartz
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Do not knock pans against the edge
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
