Tile repair near Common Side

Tile repair in Common Side without replacing anything

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Typical jobs include damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools, in ceramic tiles, marble and porcelain tiles.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Questions from Common Side

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Typically, if it is not loose.

Do you work in Common Side?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Common Side and the rest of Staffordshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

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

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What happens next?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

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

The process

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

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.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
  • Details of any past repairs

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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