DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What we cannot put right
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
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Landlords, agents and businesses in St Margaret's Hope
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- One picture of the entire tiled area
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in St Margaret's Hope, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
