Ford questions
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole tiled area and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How we handle tile repair in Ford
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. Our technicians work on natural stone & granite, porcelain tiles and marble, and the jobs we see most are drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
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.
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout

Repair or replace: which is better?

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
