Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- Water-swollen laminate
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Repairs by material
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Clean spills straight away
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
