FAQs for Ormiston
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Often, yes, if it isn’t loose.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you come to Ormiston?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Ormiston from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Repairing versus replacing in Ormiston
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. 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. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Ormiston. What changes the price is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
- The material, if you know it
Most customers in Ormiston get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
