FAQs for Cornwood
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Often, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cornwood use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
