How we handle tile repair in Church Cove

We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We’re often asked to fix drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools, across natural stone & granite, floor and wall tiles and marble.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Church Cove. The price comes down to:

  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash

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

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Church Cove as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

For anyone letting property in or around Church Cove, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Church Cove

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Church Cove: your questions answered

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you cover Church Cove?

We do. We send a technician to Church Cove for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How much does tile repair cost in Church Cove?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
