Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Common questions in Hoaden
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What affects the price in Hoaden
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hoaden. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
