Advice
Bailrigg questions
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Do I need to move furniture?
Only from the area we’re working on.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

What affects the price in Bailrigg
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Bailrigg. The price reflects:
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
We do not add 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.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole floor
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
