Tile repair for Clapper Hill homes

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Tile repair in Clapper Hill without replacing anything

We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We are often asked to fix cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings, on marble, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  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. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Clapper Hill, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Do I need to be at home?

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged 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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

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

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Cracked floor tiles

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How long it needs to cure
