Repairing versus replacing in Barrow upon Soar

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What we are called out for in Barrow upon Soar

For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Barrow upon Soar, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Barrow upon Soar
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
