Tile repair for Chowdene homes

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Tile repair in Chowdene without replacing anything

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Whether it’s damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can help, whatever the material.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

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 matters when someone is living in the home.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

FAQs for Chowdene

Will it make a mess?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

When we would advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • 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 photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

When to call us in Chowdene

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.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Drill holes from removed fittings

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What prep work is covered

10 questions to ask before booking

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

If you’re in Chowdene and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
