Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Settiscarth. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole tiled area
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Common questions in Settiscarth
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole tiled area and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping out a damaged 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. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Settiscarth. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
