Tile repair at your home in Clatterford End

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 say so. Our repair technicians work on porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and natural stone & granite, and the jobs we see most are chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Our hiring checklist

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  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. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
