How we handle tile repair in Baybridge

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Whether it’s chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Common questions in Baybridge

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Normally, if it isn’t loose.

Do you come to Baybridge?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DH8 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Baybridge. The price comes down to:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For a price in Baybridge, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What we are called out for in Baybridge

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Look out for these signs:

  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How long it needs to cure

10 questions to ask before you book

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. Our tile repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
