How we handle worktop repair in Hightae

A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. Common call-outs are for chips caused during installation and burns from hot pans, on solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and granite & marble.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

FAQs for Hightae

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What does worktop repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Do you cover the entire of Dumfries and Galloway?

Everywhere in the UK, Hightae included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What we’re called out for in Hightae

Our hiring checklist

Should you replace it?

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

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • A top that moves on its units

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Solid wood
  • Laminate
  • Quartz
  • Granite & marble

Different materials, different repairs

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
