When to call us in Deacon's Hill

Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans leave burns, knives cut, and heavy pans chip the edges.

Customers usually contact us about:

  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Chipped corners
  • Knife marks
  • Damage from fitting or building work

Questions to ask before booking

  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How your room will be protected
  • When it can be used again

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Dry around the sink and joints

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Deacon's Hill questions

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Do you come to Deacon's Hill?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Deacon's Hill and the rest of Hertfordshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Usually. A photo lets us check.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Hertfordshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your WD6 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Deacon's Hill. The price reflects:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
