What else we do in Gilling East
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Gilling East, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gilling East as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Porcelain tiles
- Ceramic tiles
- Floor and wall tiles
- Marble
- Natural stone & granite
What affects the price in Gilling East
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Gilling East. The price comes down to:
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Questions from Gilling East
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Often, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Do you cover Gilling East?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Gilling East from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
