Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
Common problems we fix in Oreston
The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A chipped edge
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
- Scratches and knife marks
- A chipped quartz edge

Landlords, agents and businesses in Oreston
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.
