Landlord and trade work in Estover

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Estover as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Estover. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Your questions about tile repair in Estover

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole tiled area and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What about drill holes in tiles?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Get a quote

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
