Tile repair for Clifton homes

Tile repair at your home in Clifton

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. Typical jobs include drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, on natural stone & granite, ceramic tiles and floor and wall tiles.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Clifton

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Common problems we fix in Clifton

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Common reasons people in Clifton contact us include:

  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Damaged tile edges

How to compare quotes

Clifton: your questions answered

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Clifton.

What does tile repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your DE6 postcode.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Clifton. The price reflects:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • 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 photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
