Tile repair near Blackdown

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

How we handle tile repair in Blackdown

We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. Our repair technicians work on porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles, and people most frequently call us about cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage

FAQs for Blackdown

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Do you come to Blackdown?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Blackdown from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Blackdown, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Blackdown. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
