Our hiring checklist

Tile repair at your home in Branksome

The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We work on marble, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles, and people most often call us about chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace in Branksome?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours. We leave the room clean.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Get a quote

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Branksome questions

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Branksome. Prices do not change with location.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you cover Branksome?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Branksome. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • 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 will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What affects the price in Branksome

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach

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. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
