Tile repair near Calton

Tile repair in Calton without replacing anything

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Common call-outs are for discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges, on natural stone & granite, marble and ceramic tiles.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Landlord and trade work in Calton

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Calton use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will 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’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

When to call us in Calton

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

People usually call us after spotting one of these:

  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
  • Drill holes from removed fittings

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if they find more damage

Our hiring checklist

Calton: your questions answered

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Staffordshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. 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.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price
