Trusted tile repair in Arlington

Tile repair in Arlington, done in place

We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We work on natural stone & granite, ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

How to compare quotes

What a repair can’t fix

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 photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Arlington

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

For anyone letting property in or around Arlington, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Arlington: your questions answered

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole tiled area and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

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.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Will the price change on the day?

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

How much does tile repair cost in Arlington?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Do the materials smell?

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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, and the work is guaranteed.
