Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Hamsterley. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
