Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire tiled area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Most customers in Cogan get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Tile repair at your home in Cogan
The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We are often asked to fix cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges, in marble, ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Cogan: your questions answered
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cogan
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cogan use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CF64 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
