Tile repair in Adber

The process

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Tile repair in Adber, done in place

We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We work on marble, porcelain tiles and natural stone & granite, and people most often call us about discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Common questions in Adber

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Can landlords book you?

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

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you cover Adber?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged 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. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

See our pricing.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

When to call us in Adber

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

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

Before booking anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What preparation is included
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
