Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

Common problems we fix in Old Craighall

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace

Questions to ask before you book

  • When it can be used again
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What protection goes down before work starts

How to compare quotes
