Book tile repair in Colne Engaine

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Tile repair at your home in Colne Engaine

A loose or rocking tile 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 ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles, and people most often call us about cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it 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 match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Colne Engaine. The price reflects:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Common questions in Colne Engaine

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Normally, if it is not loose.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What a repair can’t fix

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • A fixed quote before booking

Landlords, agents and businesses in Colne Engaine

For anyone letting property in or around Colne Engaine, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
