Tile repair for Allington homes

Tile repair in Allington, done in place

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If you’re dealing with cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can normally put it right, on porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and natural stone & granite alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlord and trade work in Allington

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We leave the room as we found it

10 questions to ask before you book

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Related advice

Allington: your questions answered

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Often, yes, if it is not loose.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

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

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
