Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

What affects the price in South Benfleet

- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas

How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- One picture of the entire worktop
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
