How we handle tile repair in Bordesley

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. We work on ceramic tiles, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles, and people most frequently call us about drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access

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.

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Landlord and trade work in Bordesley

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
