Tile repair in Bishopswood

Tile repair in Bishopswood without replacing anything

The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We work on marble, natural stone & granite and porcelain tiles, and the jobs we see most are chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Somerset. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

FAQs for Bishopswood

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Frequently, yes, if it isn’t loose.

Are there extra charges for Bishopswood?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Read our pricing.

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Bishopswood. What changes the price is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire tiled area, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Somerset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

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

When a repair is not 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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
