How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Tile repair at your home in Boxford

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Whether it’s discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings, we can generally put it right.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What affects the price in Boxford

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t 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.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Boxford use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How to compare quotes

Boxford: your questions answered

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Usually, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

How much does tile repair cost in Boxford?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Boxford is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Are you accredited?

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly.
