Tile repair for Bodiniel homes

How we handle tile repair in Bodiniel

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. 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 damaged tile edges, in marble, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlord and trade work in Bodiniel

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot 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 before booking.

Bodiniel: your questions answered

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

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

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole tiled area
  • Where you are, by postcode

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Bodiniel, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours.

  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

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
