For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Somerset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
