How we handle tile repair in Balsham

We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. Our repair technicians work on floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and marble, and the jobs we see most are damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Balsham. What changes the price is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material

Most customers in Balsham get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

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

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Repairing versus replacing in Balsham

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

What you get with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • No extra charge for your area
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Everything repaired in place

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
