What affects the price in Jamestown
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Jamestown. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
How we handle tile repair in Jamestown
The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Our technicians work on marble, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Jamestown and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can

Jamestown questions

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Repairing versus replacing in Jamestown
Replacing a 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. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
