Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
