DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Tile repair at your home in Neames Forstal
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If you are dealing with discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Neames Forstal and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Neames Forstal questions
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Neames Forstal
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
If you manage property in Neames Forstal, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
