What affects the price in Stoke Gabriel
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Stoke Gabriel. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Tile repair in Stoke Gabriel, done in place
We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. If you’re dealing with chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Stoke Gabriel: your questions answered
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you work in Stoke Gabriel?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Stoke Gabriel from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Will it make a mess?

Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Repair or replace in Stoke Gabriel?

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
The process
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Can I fix it myself?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
