Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Keep joints and edges dry
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Different materials, different repairs

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
