Questions from Cox Green
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How do I get a price for tile repair in Cox Green?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Cox Green

For anyone letting property in or around Cox Green, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
For a price in Cox Green, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
