DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Bowsey Hill questions

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire tiled area and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you cover Bowsey Hill?

We do. Technicians travel to Bowsey Hill from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Repairing versus replacing in Bowsey Hill

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Bowsey Hill. The price comes down to:

  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the whole tiled area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Drill holes from removed fittings

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How the colour is matched

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bowsey Hill as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
