Fixed price — from £70
Taps, toilets, blockages and other standard jobs: we text you the exact price when we confirm your booking. You pay that, even if it takes longer.
Written quote — free
Bathrooms, kitchens and multi-day work. We visit, measure, and send a fixed written quote with a realistic timeline. No obligation.

All prices include VAT. Card, bank transfer or cash on completion — no deposits for jobs under £500.
