Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the whole tiled area

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

About our tile repair in Clifton

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. We regularly repair natural stone & granite, ceramic tiles and floor and wall tiles, and common reasons people contact us are damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Central Bedfordshire. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We 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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Your questions about tile repair in Clifton

Can landlords book you?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Central Bedfordshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Frequently, yes, if it isn’t loose.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
