About our tile repair in Abridge

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. We work on porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles and marble, and common reasons people contact us are cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Abridge. The price reflects:

  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole tiled area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

FAQs for Abridge

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How much does tile repair cost in Abridge?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your RM4 postcode.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Typically, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do you come to Abridge?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Abridge for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Abridge, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Landlord and trade work in Abridge

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Abridge as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Repairing versus replacing in Abridge

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Abridge. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • No need to remove anything
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

When we’d advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Signs you need tile repair in Abridge

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

People normally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Cracked floor tiles

Before you book anyone
