Choosing a repair company

Tile repair in Church End, done in place

The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. Common call-outs are for chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings, across floor and wall tiles, marble and natural stone & granite.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

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

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Related advice

Church End: your questions answered

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you work in Church End?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Church End from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Church End. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
