Common questions in Allensford
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Tile repair in Allensford without replacing anything
The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We’re frequently asked to fix drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, across marble, floor and wall tiles and natural stone & granite.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
Most customers in Allensford get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
