When a repair is not the answer

- 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Tile repair in Racks without replacing anything
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. Common call-outs are for damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings, in floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and natural stone & granite.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

FAQs for Racks
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Racks. Prices do not change with location.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you work in Racks?
We do. We send a technician to Racks for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What affects the price in Racks
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole tiled area
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Racks
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Racks use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
