Questions from Stank
How much does tile repair cost in Stank?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LA13 postcode.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you cover Stank?
We do. Technicians travel to Stank from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Stank. Prices do not change with location.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Should you replace it?
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. Our tile repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: 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.

- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Advice
When to call us in Stank
Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
- Damaged tile edges
- Cracked floor tiles
- Drill holes from removed fittings
What your quote should include
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How the room is protected while they work
- How long it needs to cure
- Who turns up on the day
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
