The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Whether it’s discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Ballingdon Bottom and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Your questions about tile repair in Ballingdon Bottom

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is my repair covered?

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

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What information do you need?

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon 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. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • 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 will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in Ballingdon Bottom

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the whole tiled area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your HP2 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ballingdon Bottom

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

When to call us in Ballingdon Bottom

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Cracked floor tiles
