Tile repair near Burton

Tile repair in Burton, done in place

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Our technicians work on floor and wall tiles, ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles, and people most frequently call us about chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Burton, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Repairing versus replacing in Burton

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No need to remove anything
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A picture taken from further back

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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 photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
