Tile repair at your home in Islip

Questions from Islip
How do I get a price for tile repair in Islip?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
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 there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Islip, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Landlord and trade work in Islip
For anyone letting property in or around Islip, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
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 can work around your bookings.
Repair or replace in Islip?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
