Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of damage
- The material
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- One picture of the whole tiled area
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Landlord and trade work in Workhouse End
For anyone letting property in or around Workhouse End, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- 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 photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Natural stone & granite
- Ceramic tiles
