Tile repair in Cambourne

Tile repair in Cambourne, done in place

We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We’re frequently asked to fix damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings, on porcelain tiles, marble and floor and wall tiles.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Cambourne questions

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Cambridgeshire.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Do you cover Cambourne?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Cambourne and the rest of Cambridgeshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

Do you cover the whole of Cambridgeshire?

The whole UK, including all of Cambridgeshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

Common problems we fix in Cambourne

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

The things customers normally mention when they call are:

  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace

Our hiring checklist

When we would advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

The process

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 normally 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 level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Cambourne. What changes the price is:

  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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 pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why Cambourne customers choose us

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
