Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Tile repair in Great Hinton, done in place
We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. If you’re dealing with discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings, we can help, whatever the material.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Great Hinton questions
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Generally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Great Hinton included. Travel is included in the price.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Should you replace it?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
