How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Crosby Garrett. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
For anyone letting property in or around Crosby Garrett, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Crosby Garrett questions

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
What areas do you cover?

Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
