Crapstone questions
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Tile repair in Crapstone without replacing anything
We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Whether it’s damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings, we can help, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Landlord and trade work in Crapstone
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
