Tile repair for Cold Christmas homes

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Tile repair at your home in Cold Christmas

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Whether it’s drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can help, on porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repairing versus replacing in Cold Christmas

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Cold Christmas. The price comes down to:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • The material

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Cold Christmas. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

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

How it works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
