Tile repair for Blackboys homes

Tile repair in Blackboys without replacing anything

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Typical jobs include chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings, on floor and wall tiles, natural stone & granite and marble.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Blackboys and across East Sussex. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

If you manage property in Blackboys, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

The process

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a 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. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Blackboys questions

Do the materials smell?

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

What does tile repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

When can you do it?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Generally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • 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.
