Tile repair in Balstonia

Tile repair in Balstonia without replacing anything

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. If you’re dealing with chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, we can normally put it right, on floor and wall tiles, natural stone & granite and porcelain tiles alike.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Balstonia as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole tiled area

If you are in Balstonia and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Balstonia: your questions answered

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Balstonia. Our prices are the same everywhere.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Generally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Balstonia

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

If you manage property in Balstonia, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour-matched on site
