Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including The Hythe. What changes the price is:
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Clean spills immediately
- Keep wood oiled
- Keep a trivet by the hob
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
Landlord and trade work in The Hythe
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.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
