What affects the price in Downham

- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Downham. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Landlord and trade work in Downham
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Downham use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Downham questions
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
