Tile repair for Abbey Village homes

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

  • Natural stone & granite
  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Marble

How we handle tile repair in Abbey Village

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Our technicians work on natural stone & granite, marble and porcelain tiles, and the jobs we see most are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Abbey Village

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Abbey Village. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your PR6 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Abbey Village questions

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire tiled area and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Abbey Village is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Often, yes, if it isn’t loose.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
