You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Questions from Barkingside
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Greater London and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, 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.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
