Tile repair for Boswall homes

Tile repair at your home in Boswall

The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. Common call-outs are for chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, across marble, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles.

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.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

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

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Boswall. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Boswall. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material

Most clients in Boswall get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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.
