Knowl Wall: your questions answered
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Generally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
