East Shalford: your questions answered
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- How much damage there is
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
- Something in shot to show the size
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
