Tile repair in Birch Vale

Tile repair in Birch Vale without replacing anything

The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We’re often asked to fix damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings, in natural stone & granite, porcelain tiles and marble.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated 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
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

Repair or replace in Birch Vale?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Most jobs done in one visit

See our full price list.

Can I fix it myself?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Common questions in Birch Vale

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you cover Birch Vale?

We do. We send a technician to Birch Vale for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Landlord and trade work in Birch Vale

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Birch Vale. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
