About our tile repair in Ash

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If you’re dealing with chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles, we can typically put it right.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Do you need tile repair in Ash?

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

People typically call us when they notice one of these:

  • Damaged tile edges
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

How to compare quotes

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • 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’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  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

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Ash

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

See our full price list.

What affects the price in Ash

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Your questions about tile repair in Ash

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Usually, if it is not loose.

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

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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.
