Landlord and trade work in Talkin
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
If you manage property in Talkin, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 frequently lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Repairing versus replacing in Talkin

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Talkin. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Advice
Talkin questions
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Are there extra charges for Talkin?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you cover the entire of Cumbria?
The whole UK, including all of Cumbria. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Honest limits

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
