Maintenance AND REPAIR
Replacing or refinishing your worktop is not the only option! Worktop repairs are feasible when the damage is localised to one or two areas. From cigarette and hot plate burns to scratches, chips, and gouges, we can repair most type of damaged worktops.
Worktop repairs are blended in to match the existing surface and are generally undetectable to anyone who is unaware of the original damage.
Until recently, if damaged occurred to Corian or Solid Surface worktops there was not a professional repair available. We have worked with manufacturers to formulate high quality, durable, color-matched materials specifically made to repair chips and scratches in solid surface worktops.
In addition to major Corian top repairs, these worktops can also be polished and buffed to remove slight scratches and damage, restoring them to their original finish.

Re-Caulking & Caulking
Sooner or later, mold always shows up around your sink. When this happens you can clean the old caulk and re-caulk it but why you should recaulk your sink by yourself when it can be completed by our professional team.
Caulk often is used to prevent water from going into joints between:
• Tub and walls
• Tub and floors
• Worktop and back splash
• Worktop and tiled wall
• Sink and worktop
Since caulk is flexible, it is right choice for surfaces that tend to move or shift slightly.
Improper caulking can lead to leaking, wetting, staining, mold development, moisture smell and water damage.
There is one primary reason to re-caulk it is to change old discoloured and molded caulk. Also, re-caulking or calking can protect from absorbing water in places like under the walls and the floors where mold can grow.
The cost of caulking or re-caulking much less than tile replacement or water damage repair and often only re-calking bring back to old worktop a new and fresh look.
Reasons Why You Should Seal Your Stone
• Any spilled liquid will be absorbed and in some cases a stain will be present
• Natural stone needs to have adequate protection because of its porous surface.
That’s why you need to always seal your stone after a worktop installation or worktop restoration. We believe that “All stone surfaces should be sealed in order to protect them and in some cases enhance their natural beauty.
Keep in mind that your sealer will wear out over time and daily use.Certain cleaning products or the inevitable spill of acidic products such as wine or coffee will strip the sealer. As the sealer is stripped noticeable spottiness and dulling will occur leaving the stone susceptible to staining.
