Tile repair near Cog

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Tile repair at your home in Cog

We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. Whether it’s discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings, we can typically put it right, on ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles alike.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • No need to remove anything
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • No extra charge for your area

See our pricing.

What a repair can’t fix

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  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 match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Related advice

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Most customers in Cog get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Landlord and trade work in Cog

If you manage property in Cog, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Questions from Cog

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

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 we’ll quote them together.

What does tile repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

What happens next?

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

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
