Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 frequently lifts.
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.

Questions from Housham Tye
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Essex.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you cover Housham Tye?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Housham Tye and the rest of Essex. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you price it without visiting?

What affects the price in Housham Tye
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
