Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

See our prices page.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage

Advice

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Abbots Ripton

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

What affects the price in Abbots Ripton

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • A photo taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Abbots Ripton, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Abbots Ripton

For anyone letting property in or around Abbots Ripton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Our hiring checklist

Common questions in Abbots Ripton

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Do the materials smell?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
