The Tile Association are so confident of their members' workmanship that they have introduced an insurance backed warranty scheme especially for TTA fixers working in the consumer sector. The Tile Association has used its buying power as the leading body for the industry, to team up with a national insurance company who will back their fixer members' work.

Because it is insurance backed scheme you can be assured that even if the tiler or TTA go out of business, your customers will still have cover. The TTA scheme covers tiling contracts from a value of £250 including VAT to a value of £5000 including VAT. Cover will only be provided for wall and floor tiling in a single private residence with no business use and excludes projects such as swimming pools. The warranty will only cover the tiling work not the products. It will cover the work for six years after payment has been made.

The scheme is very simple. Your TTA registered tile fixer will have all the details and will give your customer the paperwork once you have paid for the completed work. They must then fill in the form and send it to the insurance company who will send them a policy document. In the case of a problem they contact the insurance company not you.

This will give TTA registered fixers an undoubted edge over any other fixers as this is the ONLY insurance backed warranty scheme in the tiling industry.

The Tile Association has a tile fixers training plan and is actively involved in creating a qualified and competent work force for the tiling industry.
