Yawl questions
Are there extra charges for Yawl?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
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.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Tile repair in Yawl without replacing anything
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Common call-outs are for damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools, in ceramic tiles, marble and floor and wall tiles.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout

Repairing versus replacing in Yawl
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

The process
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
