Tile repair for Cawdor homes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cawdor

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Tile repair in Cawdor, done in place

We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We’re frequently asked to fix discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools, on ceramic tiles, marble and natural stone & granite.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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 before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  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. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Do you need tile repair in Cawdor?

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

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Damaged tile edges
  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How changes to the job are handled

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

10 questions to ask before booking

Questions from Cawdor

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Will there be a smell?

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

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Generally, if it is not loose.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Cawdor. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Repairing versus replacing in Cawdor

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
