Trusted tile repair in Allestree

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

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 generally the cheaper route.

Tile repair in Allestree, done in place

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We’re often asked to fix cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings, on ceramic tiles, marble and natural stone & granite.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

How to compare quotes

Allestree questions

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

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.

Repairing versus replacing in Allestree

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. 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’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Allestree. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Honest limits
