Claygate Cross questions
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you come to Claygate Cross?
We do. We send a technician to Claygate Cross for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire tiled area and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
We price from photos so you do not 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.
Common problems we fix in Claygate Cross
Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Damaged tile edges
- Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
- Cracked floor tiles
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
Comparing quotes
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What happens if they find more damage
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How soon you can use it again
For landlords and businesses
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.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price

Repairing versus replacing in Claygate Cross
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- 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 pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Ceramic tiles
- Porcelain tiles
- Marble
- Floor and wall tiles
- Natural stone & granite
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
