DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What affects the price in Newton Poppleford
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Newton Poppleford questions

Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Newton Poppleford included. Travel is included in the price.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
