About tile repair in West Berkshire

We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We regularly repair porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles, and the jobs we see most are drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools.

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Cost

Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Local landmarks in Newbury

In Newbury, that means homes near St Nicolas Church, Victoria Park and St Bartholomew's School, among other places. You will also find The Diamond Tap (under half a mile north-east), St Nicolas C.E. Junior School (under half a mile south) and St Bartholomew's School (0.6 miles south-west). There’s a railway station in Newbury itself: Newbury station. Other landmarks nearby include Donnington Castle (1.6 miles north-west) and West Berkshire Community Hospital (1.5 miles east). Open spaces near Newbury include Audrey's Meadow.

Repairing versus replacing

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Landlords, agents and businesses in West Berkshire

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair 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

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

If you’re in West Berkshire and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Your questions about tile repair in West Berkshire

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What about drill holes in tiles?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
