Landlords, agents and businesses in Starston
If you manage property in Starston, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How we handle tile repair in Starston
We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. If you are dealing with cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings, we can normally put it right.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Starston. The price reflects:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
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.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. 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
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Marble
- Ceramic tiles
- Floor and wall tiles
- Porcelain tiles
- Natural stone & granite
