Tile repair near Clapton

How we handle tile repair in Clapton

The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Whether it’s damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can generally put it right.

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

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Somerset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Clapton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • One picture of the entire tiled area
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

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

Clapton questions

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Generally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Are you accredited?

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Clapton

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
