FAQs for Stanford in the Vale
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
If you manage property in Stanford in the Vale, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
