Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Lumley Thicks. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Lumley Thicks. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Advice
Lumley Thicks: your questions answered
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Do you come to Lumley Thicks?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Lumley Thicks for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
