How we handle tile repair in Abbeyview

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. We work on natural stone & granite, ceramic tiles and marble, and the jobs we see most are cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Abbeyview

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Damaged tile edges

What your quote should include

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How long it needs to cure

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Landlord and trade work in Abbeyview

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Abbeyview as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

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.

Abbeyview: your questions answered

How do I get a price for tile repair in Abbeyview?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have 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 are done and let you know when you can use it again.

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

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A photo taken from further back

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