How we handle tile repair in Ashley Down

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. We’re frequently asked to fix drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles, on floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and natural stone & granite.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage
