Landlord and trade work in Gilbertstone
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
If you manage property in Gilbertstone, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use mild cleaners only
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Get chips repaired early
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
