How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Comely Bank, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Comely Bank: your questions answered

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How do I get a price for worktop repair in Comely Bank?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Do you come to Comely Bank?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Comely Bank from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Use a chopping board
  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.

Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Failed support under the worktop

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

Granite and stone

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

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

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.

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, and the work is guaranteed.
