How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep wood oiled
- Clean spills right away
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Do not let water sit on joints
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Common questions in Old Wives Lees
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
Typically, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What does worktop repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Old Wives Lees
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
