Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it

If you’re in Dalry and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Tile repair in Dalry without replacing anything

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’ll say so. We work on natural stone & granite, ceramic tiles and marble, and the jobs we see most are cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt isn’t 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.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Dalry questions

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
