Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
How we handle tile repair in Winlaton
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. Common call-outs are for discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings, in marble, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Winlaton as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.
