Tile repair in Churchtown

Tile repair in Churchtown without replacing anything

The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Typical jobs include cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, on floor and wall tiles, marble and ceramic tiles.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlord and trade work in Churchtown

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

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 leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Churchtown. What changes the price is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

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

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When we would advise against a repair

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’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

Churchtown questions

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Often, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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 photos.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
