Tile repair in Appledore Heath without replacing anything

The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. Common call-outs are for damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles, in ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and porcelain tiles.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Questions from Appledore Heath

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Often, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Appledore Heath included. Travel is included in the price.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

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.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • No need to remove anything
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Read our pricing.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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

Do you need tile repair in Appledore Heath?

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

Clients usually contact us about:

  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Damaged tile edges

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the area is dry

Advice

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Appledore Heath

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot 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.
