Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Tile repair at your home in Four Lane Ends
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 tell you. If you’re dealing with discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles, we can help, on natural stone & granite, marble and porcelain tiles alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Four Lane Ends, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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