Tile repair at your home in Cornhill

If a tile moves, it 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. Common call-outs are for cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges, in porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles and marble.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace in Cornhill?

10 questions to ask before booking

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer before you book.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire tiled area

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Cornhill, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
