Tile repair near Arlesey

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the area is dry

How to get a price

Advice

Tile repair at your home in Arlesey

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. We work on floor and wall tiles, marble and ceramic tiles, and the jobs we see most are chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. What it costs 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 price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Arlesey

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • No extra charge for your area

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode

For a price in Arlesey, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
