Tile repair for Church Hill homes

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Tile repair in Church Hill without replacing anything

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. We are frequently asked to fix drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, in porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Your questions about tile repair in Church Hill

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

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

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What we cannot put right

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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
