Trusted tile repair in Ball

Tile repair at your home in Ball

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. Common call-outs are for damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, across marble, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Ball. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

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

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.

  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. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Related advice

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Signs you need tile repair in Ball

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

Common reasons people in Ball contact us are:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
