Tile repair in Brown Lees, done in place

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. We regularly repair natural stone & granite, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles, and the jobs we see most are drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

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.

Brown Lees questions

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Often, yes, if it is not loose.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

How do I get a price for tile repair in Brown Lees?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your ST8 postcode.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your ST8 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

  • Work done at your home or business
  • One price list for the entire UK

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Landlords, agents and businesses in Brown Lees

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole tiled area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Most customers in Brown Lees get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
