DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Wall Nook: your questions answered
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Often, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Should you replace it?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
