Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills immediately, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Different materials, different repairs
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
