What affects the price in Pin Mill

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole tiled area, we can price the job without visiting.

Questions from Pin Mill

What about drill holes in tiles?

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

Are there extra charges for Pin Mill?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What does tile repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • No extra charge for your area

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
