What else we do in Canford Cliffs
What affects the price in Canford Cliffs
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Canford Cliffs. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- The material
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Questions from Canford Cliffs
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do I need to move furniture?
Only from the area we are working on.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Canford Cliffs and the rest of Poole. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Do you come to Canford Cliffs?
We do. We send a technician to Canford Cliffs for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
