Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

About our tile repair in Hognaston
The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Our technicians work on floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and marble, and people most frequently call us about chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Common questions in Hognaston
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Do you work in Hognaston?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Hognaston from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Generally, if it is not loose.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Landlord and trade work in Hognaston
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Derbyshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hognaston as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
