What affects the price in Shawbost
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Shawbost. The price comes down to:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
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.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
How we handle tile repair in Shawbost
We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We are frequently asked to fix chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles, in ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Shawbost: your questions answered
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Repairing versus replacing in Shawbost
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Shawbost. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
