Tile repair in Arbury

Tile repair at your home in Arbury

We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We regularly repair ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and porcelain tiles, and the jobs we see most are damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Arbury. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Questions from Arbury

Will you leave a mess?

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

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Arbury is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

What do you need from me?

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

How much does tile repair cost in Arbury?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your CB4 postcode.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Landlord and trade work in Arbury

Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Advice

When we’d advise against a repair

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 pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Ceramic tiles
  • Porcelain tiles
  • Marble
  • Natural stone & granite

Questions to ask before you book

10 questions to ask before you book

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
