Tile repair for Caxton homes

Tile repair in Caxton without replacing anything

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. Common call-outs are for drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools, in marble, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Caxton as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Caxton and the surrounding area

Caxton is about 7 miles east of St Neots, in Cambridgeshire. Jobs in Caxton are booked in like any other job: a fixed quote from pictures, then a visit to do the work. Caxton is one of 371 towns and villages in Cambridgeshire we cover. We work right across the region, from Caxton to London (about 49 miles away).

Our visits in CB23 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. That includes homes on Tates Field, Royston Road and Gransden Road. We also travel to Cambourne (1 mile north-east), Highfields Caldecote (3 miles east), Childerley Gate (3 miles east), Knapwell (3 miles north-east) and Elsworth (4 miles north). Larger places within reach include Cambridge (10 miles east), St Neots (7 miles west), Huntingdon (10 miles north), St Ives (9 miles north), Royston (11 miles south) and Godmanchester (8 miles north).

We visit homes around The Cross Keys pub, Cambourne Village College and Parish Church of St Andrew and the streets around them. The countryside around Caxton includes Cambourne Nature Reserve.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • 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 will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • No need to remove anything
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Caxton: your questions answered

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Is my repair covered?

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

Do you cover Caxton?

We do. Technicians travel to Caxton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Caxton

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For anyone letting property in or around Caxton, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What affects the price in Caxton

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  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. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can

Get a quote

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

Common problems we fix in Caxton

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.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Aftercare advice
  • When it can be used again
