Tile repair in Broad Colney, done in place

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. We are often asked to fix discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles, across ceramic tiles, floor and wall tiles and marble.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Broad Colney questions

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you work in Broad Colney?

We do. Technicians travel to Broad Colney from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Does someone need to be in?

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

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. The repair is levelled 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

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Choosing a repair company

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

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

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Broad Colney

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

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

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
