Landlord and trade work in Mapperley

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Mapperley as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Tile repair in Mapperley, done in place

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Whether it’s drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Questions from Mapperley

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire tiled area and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Mapperley. What changes the price is:

  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
