Tile repair for Clifton homes

How we handle tile repair in Clifton

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We work on natural stone & granite, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles, and the jobs we see most are cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repairing versus replacing in Clifton

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What tile repair costs

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

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Most customers in Clifton get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • 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 booking.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the area is dry

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

FAQs for Clifton

Is there a guarantee?

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

Do you come to Clifton?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Clifton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
