Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once

- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
How we handle tile repair in Balham
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. If you’re dealing with cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can help, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Questions from Balham
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you cover Balham?
We do. We send a technician to Balham for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
