Your questions about tile repair in Borden

When can you do it?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire tiled area and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

Tile repair in Borden without replacing anything

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. Our technicians work on floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and marble, and people most often call us about drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What affects the price in Borden

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas

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

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire tiled area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Most jobs done in one visit

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

  • Ceramic tiles
  • Porcelain tiles
  • Natural stone & granite
  • Marble
  • Floor and wall tiles

Signs you need tile repair in Borden

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Damaged tile edges
  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Drill holes from removed fittings

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  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

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
