Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back

Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CB22 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
