DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • 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 you book.

Materials we repair

  • Porcelain tiles
  • Natural stone & granite
  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Ceramic tiles
  • Marble

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What affects the price in Rattlesden

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole tiled area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

If you are in Rattlesden and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
