How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Use a chopping board
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Clean spills right away
  • Dry around the sink and joints

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
