Questions from Gwithian
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Gwithian included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do you work in Gwithian?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Gwithian for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Usually, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
How we handle tile repair in Gwithian
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Our repair technicians work on floor and wall tiles, natural stone & granite and marble, and common reasons people contact us are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Gwithian, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
Letting agents frequently 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.
Repairing versus replacing in Gwithian
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. 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.

How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
Rather than charging by the hour, 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 quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
