Signs you need tile repair in Botley

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Clients normally contact us about:

  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Drill holes from removed fittings

We also work for schools, leisure centres and businesses, so if you look after a building such as Botley School, tiled corridors and washrooms can be repaired in place too.

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Botley

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together. Visits around Botley are generally simple: we park, protect the room and get started.

  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. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Botley: your questions answered

My house in Botley is a period property. Is the original worth keeping?

Usually, yes. Older tiles are often worth repairing rather than replacing. Send us pictures and we will tell you what’s possible.

Do you work for landlords with property near Oxford station?

Yes. Send photos and the address, and we will quote.

Do you cover the whole of Oxfordshire?

The whole UK, including all of Oxfordshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
