Tile repair in Aspenden

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

How we handle tile repair in Aspenden

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Our technicians work on marble, ceramic tiles and floor and wall tiles, and people most frequently call us about damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Aspenden. The price reflects:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size

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

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
