Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Your questions about tile repair in Upper Common
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
How much does tile repair cost in Upper Common?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What affects the price in Upper Common
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Upper Common. The price comes down to:
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
