- The colour and finish to match
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Well Head. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
