Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Derby and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Burley Hill: your questions answered

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Frequently, yes, if it isn’t loose.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do you cover the whole of Derby?

Everywhere in the UK, Burley Hill included. Travel is included in the price.

Is there any odour?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Burley Hill.

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Porcelain tiles
  • Ceramic tiles
  • Marble
  • Natural stone & granite
  • Floor and wall tiles

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • The material

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
