Tile repair for Clestrain homes

Tile repair in Clestrain without replacing anything

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We work on ceramic tiles, marble and porcelain tiles, and the jobs we see most are cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. There are no surprise 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.

Do you need tile repair in Clestrain?

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

Before you book anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Aftercare advice

Choosing a repair company

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  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

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What affects the price in Clestrain

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Clestrain. The price comes down to:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
