DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What affects the price in Shotley Bridge
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DH8 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
