What affects the price in Crateford

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs

If you’re in Crateford and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

About our tile repair in Crateford

The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. If you’re dealing with drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles, we can help, whatever the material.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Staffordshire. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Common questions in Crateford

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you come to Crateford?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Crateford. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Generally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Repairing versus replacing in Crateford

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Crateford. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

The process

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
