Your questions about tile repair in Oldswinford
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you cover Oldswinford?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Oldswinford from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
How we handle tile repair in Oldswinford
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. Typical jobs include discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles, in natural stone & granite, ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Porcelain tiles
- Floor and wall tiles
- Natural stone & granite
- Marble
- Ceramic tiles
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the whole tiled area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
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.
