Common questions in Whorlton

How much does tile repair cost in Whorlton?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your DL12 postcode.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What information do you need?

Do you cover Whorlton?

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Are there extra charges for Whorlton?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
