Advice
Tile repair in Long Duckmanton, done in place
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. We are frequently asked to fix damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles, across natural stone & granite, marble and porcelain tiles.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Questions from Long Duckmanton
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do you work in Long Duckmanton?
We do. We send a technician to Long Duckmanton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Long Duckmanton is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
