Tile repair in Chitty, done in place

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We are often asked to fix chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings, in porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Questions from Chitty

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not 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 you book.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

What affects the price in Chitty

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Chitty. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

When to call us in Chitty

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
  • Drill holes from removed fittings

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before you book

Can I fix it myself?

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

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.
