DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

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.

How we handle tile repair in Abbots Langley

We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Our repair technicians work on floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and marble, and people most often call us about cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hertfordshire. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repairing versus replacing in Abbots Langley

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. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Abbots Langley as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What affects the price in Abbots Langley

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • One picture of the whole tiled area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your WD5 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
