Questions from Birchington
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What tile repair costs

- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
