We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Generally, if it is not loose.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
