Common questions in Whitestone
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Frequently, yes, if it isn’t loose.
How we handle tile repair in Whitestone
The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. Typical jobs include damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, in floor and wall tiles, marble and ceramic tiles.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repair or replace in Whitestone?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
If you are in Whitestone and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What we can’t put right
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Natural stone & granite
