How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills right away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Water-swollen laminate
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What your worktop is made of matters

What affects the price in Torness
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Torness. What changes the price is:

Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash

- A wider photo showing the entire worktop

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
