Tile repair at your home in Portsmouth

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. We are often asked to fix discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings, across porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and marble.

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring all our kit in the van, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Cost

Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Tile repair across Portsmouth: local notes

Floors and tiles across Portsmouth, from Southsea, Milton and Landport to small villages, are repaired in place.

Portsmouth: In the older streets of Portsmouth, around landmarks like St Wilfrid, old tiles are hard to match, so repairing a damaged one keeps the original floor. We also work for schools, leisure centres and businesses, so if you look after a building such as Manor Infant School, tiled corridors and washrooms can be repaired in place too.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is.

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the whole tiled area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

FAQs for Portsmouth

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’ll tell you.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

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

Do you cover Portsmouth?

We do. We send a technician to Portsmouth for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

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.

Is it messy?

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

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
