Tile repair for Chacewater homes

Landlord and trade work in Chacewater

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Tile repair in Chacewater without replacing anything

We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. If you’re dealing with discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can normally put it right.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repairing versus replacing in Chacewater

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

10 questions to ask before you book

How it works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

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

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Chacewater, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Common questions in Chacewater

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
