DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Tilton on the Hill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
