FAQs for Cottown
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
How do I get a price for tile repair in Cottown?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your AB51 postcode.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
How we handle tile repair in Cottown
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Common call-outs are for damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles, across floor and wall tiles, marble and natural stone & granite.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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 photos.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cottown
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
