Tile repair in Bilsham

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How we handle tile repair in Bilsham

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. We regularly repair porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and marble, and the jobs we see most are cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Choosing a repair company

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Advice

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Bilsham questions

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How do I get a price for tile repair in Bilsham?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your BN18 postcode.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole tiled area and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you cover the whole of West Sussex?

Across the UK, and that includes Bilsham. Prices don’t change with location.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bilsham use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Bilsham. What changes the price is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire tiled area

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Bilsham, and we will reply with a fixed price.
