What affects the price in Londonderry
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Most customers in Londonderry get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Londonderry
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
If you manage property in Londonderry, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
FAQs for Londonderry
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you cover Londonderry?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Londonderry and the rest of Birmingham. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Get chips repaired early
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
