About our tile repair in Caton

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. If you are dealing with drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can help.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

FAQs for Caton

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Normally, if it isn’t loose.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Are there extra charges for Caton?

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

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

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.

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What tile repair costs

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

  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Caton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire tiled area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your LA2 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What we’re called out for in Caton

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

People typically call us after spotting one of these:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How to look after the finish
