Tile repair near Bowthorpe

Tile repair at your home in Bowthorpe

We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Whether it’s chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can generally put it right, on ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and marble alike.

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 happens on the day

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, 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.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Make sure the area is dry

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

What we can’t put right

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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

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

What affects the price in Bowthorpe

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode

If you are in Bowthorpe and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
