About our tile repair in Carlton

The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. Common call-outs are for drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools, across natural stone & granite, floor and wall tiles and marble.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Carlton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

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

10 questions to ask before booking

Your questions about tile repair in Carlton

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Normally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

How do I get a price for tile repair in Carlton?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Carlton. The price reflects:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire tiled area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What we can’t put right

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 frequently lifts.

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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Carlton

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

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
