FAQs for Crabtree
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Are there extra charges for Crabtree?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
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 repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
About our tile repair in Crabtree
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If you are dealing with chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, we can help, whatever the material.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

- Access to the area
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Crabtree. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures

- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area

Most clients in Crabtree get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
