Tile repair in Ambler Thorn

How we handle tile repair in Ambler Thorn

The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Typical jobs include drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools, on porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and marble.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Ambler Thorn. The price comes down to:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the entire tiled area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Repairing versus replacing in Ambler Thorn

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. The price 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 pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

How to prepare
