Tile repair near Altofts

Tile repair in Altofts, done in place

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Our repair technicians work on ceramic tiles, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles, and people most frequently call us about cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Altofts use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach

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

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
  • Any details about the material

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Common questions in Altofts

Will you leave a mess?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Altofts.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Are there extra charges for Altofts?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

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.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair 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

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
