How we handle tile repair in Bowling

We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. If you are dealing with chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can help, whatever the material.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Bowling, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Repairing versus replacing in Bowling

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

See our prices page.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Bowling. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price
