Southwood: your questions answered
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Southwood included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What we cannot put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Marble
- Natural stone & granite
- Porcelain tiles
- Floor and wall tiles
- Ceramic tiles
What we’re called out for in Southwood
Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Damaged tile edges
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find more damage
- What protection goes down before work starts
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Ensure the area is dry
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Southwood. The price comes down to:
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
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. Prices start from £95. 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.
