Tile repair in Calver

How we handle tile repair in Calver

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Typical jobs include chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, across ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and marble.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Calver as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What we’re called out for in Calver

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What prep work is covered
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How soon you can use it again

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 normally the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • 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 booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Questions from Calver

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole tiled area and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Do the materials smell?

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

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  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 match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Getting ready for the visit
