Tile repair in Colwinston

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We leave the room as we found it

See our prices page.

Tile repair in Colwinston without replacing anything

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. We work on ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and marble, and people most frequently call us about damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What affects the price in Colwinston

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Colwinston. What changes the price is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • One picture of the entire tiled area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Your questions about tile repair in Colwinston

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of the Vale of Glamorgan. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

10 questions to ask before you book

The process

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you 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. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Landlord and trade work in Colwinston

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
