Tile repair in Cape Hill

About our tile repair in Cape Hill

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Common call-outs are for discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools, on ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and porcelain tiles.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Birmingham. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the entire tiled area

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Questions from Cape Hill

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole tiled area and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What does tile repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you work in Cape Hill?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Cape Hill and the rest of Birmingham. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do the materials smell?

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

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No extra charge for your area
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

See our pricing.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire tiled area, we can price the job without visiting.
