What we can’t put right

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 will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Ardington

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

Tile repair at your home in Ardington

We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We work on marble, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles, and common reasons people contact us are chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

How to compare quotes

How it works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can

Ardington: your questions answered

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

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

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.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Ardington. The price comes down to:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
