Tile repair in Chicksands

Common questions in Chicksands

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

When can you do it?

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

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

About our tile repair in Chicksands

The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Our technicians work on natural stone & granite, marble and ceramic tiles, and the jobs we see most are drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Can I fix it myself?

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

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Chicksands. The price reflects:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

When to call us in Chicksands

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.

  • Chips from dropped pans and tools

Landlord and trade work in Chicksands

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

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chicksands as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
