Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Castle. The price depends on:

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Our tile repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
