Tile repair in Boot Street

Repairing versus replacing in Boot Street

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Tile repair in Boot Street without replacing anything

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. Whether it’s cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings, we can help, whatever the material.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

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

Boot Street questions

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Boot Street, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What affects the price in Boot Street

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Boot Street. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Boot Street. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your IP13 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

When a repair is not the answer

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • 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.

10 questions to ask before booking

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
