Book tile repair in Chale

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote 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 or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

How we handle tile repair in Chale

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We’re often asked to fix chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, on ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

Chale questions

How much does tile repair cost in Chale?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do you cover Chale?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Chale from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Chale. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole tiled area, we can price the job without visiting.
