How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Use a chopping board
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills straight away, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
What your worktop is made of matters
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, 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.
