Chilton Moor questions
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do I need to be at home?
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.
Are there extra charges for Chilton Moor?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is

- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
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 to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Chilton Moor, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
