How we handle tile repair in Badley

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. Our repair technicians work on marble, ceramic tiles and natural stone & granite, and people most often call us about drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

If you manage property in Badley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Repair or replace in Badley?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Read our pricing.

The process

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  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. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Advice

What affects the price in Badley

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

  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the entire tiled area

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Questions from Badley

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Can you quote from pictures?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

How to compare quotes

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair 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 photos and we will say what we think before booking.
