Landlords, agents and businesses in Turfdown

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.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

How we handle tile repair in Turfdown

We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Common call-outs are for cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools, on natural stone & granite, marble and porcelain tiles.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Common problems we fix in Turfdown

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Cracked floor tiles

10 questions to ask before you book

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace in Turfdown?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Turfdown. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • No need to remove anything

What a repair cannot fix

  • 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 before booking.

FAQs for Turfdown

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you cover Turfdown?

We do. We send a technician to Turfdown for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
