DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
About our tile repair in Great Fossend
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. Typical jobs include chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings, in marble, ceramic tiles and natural stone & granite.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Great Fossend as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit.

Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you quote from pictures?

How we price tile repair

- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
