10 questions to ask before you book

Tile repair in Borstal without replacing anything

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. Whether it’s cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings, we can typically put it right, on porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Borstal. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Borstal

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. 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.

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
