Your questions about tile repair in Swallow
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How soon can you come?

Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Swallow
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
