Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

About our tile repair in Banks

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. We’re frequently asked to fix cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools, in floor and wall tiles, marble and ceramic tiles.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Banks: your questions answered

Are there extra charges for Banks?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Do you work in Banks?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Banks for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Generally, if it isn’t loose.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
Next we fill the damage.
The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

How to prepare

Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Clear the area around the damage

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

How many areas need work
Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The material
How hard the colour is to match

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Banks. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

One sharp close-up of the damage
A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
Your postcode, so we can check dates

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Landlord and trade work in Banks

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
