Need tile repair in Bonnington?

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  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. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

About our tile repair in Bonnington

The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Our technicians work on porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles and natural stone & granite, and the jobs we see most are cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bonnington

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What we’re called out for in Bonnington

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Clients typically contact us about:

  • Damaged tile edges
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Cracked floor tiles

What to look for in a quote

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

How to compare quotes

Repairing versus replacing in Bonnington

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit

  • Same prices wherever you are

Common questions in Bonnington

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Bonnington. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire tiled area

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
