Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Common questions in Whittington
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is there a guarantee?
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?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
