Long Marton: your questions answered
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Typically, if it is not loose.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts 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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
