Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Keep wood oiled
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Wipe up spills quickly
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Yelling
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Common questions in Yelling
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Cambridgeshire.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
Often, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
Do you come to Yelling?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Yelling and the rest of Cambridgeshire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Water-swollen laminate
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.

Related advice
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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
