When a repair is not the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Newton Ketton

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Newton Ketton. The price comes down to:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
