For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Red Hill as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
How we handle tile repair in Red Hill
We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. Common call-outs are for discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools, in floor and wall tiles, marble and ceramic tiles.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Questions from Red Hill
Do you cover the whole of Birmingham?
All of Birmingham, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Are there extra charges for Red Hill?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
How much does tile repair cost in Red Hill?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your B38 postcode.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repairing versus replacing in Red Hill
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. 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 photos and you will get a fixed figure.
