Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Common questions in Langton Matravers
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Langton Matravers included. Travel is included in the price.
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.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
How it works

Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
