DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
