Questions from Somercotes

Do you cover Somercotes?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Somercotes from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Derbyshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Typically, if it is not loose.

Tile repair at your home in Somercotes

The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. If you are dealing with cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings, we can help.

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. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Our hiring checklist

Landlords, agents and businesses in Somercotes

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Derbyshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What we cannot put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Somercotes. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire tiled area, we can price the job.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
