Common questions in Fords Farm
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you cover Fords Farm?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Fords Farm from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
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.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Fords Farm
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Fords Farm. The price comes down to:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Fords Farm. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Fords Farm, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
What a repair can’t fix

- Whole walls of failing grout
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
