Tile repair in Cotham, done in place

The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We work on floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and marble, and people most frequently call us about damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Cotham and across Nottinghamshire. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Common questions in Cotham

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Often, yes, if it is not loose.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you quote from pictures?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

When to call us in Cotham

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

People typically call us when they notice one of these:

  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Damaged tile edges

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What happens if they find more damage

10 questions to ask before you book

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

What affects the price in Cotham

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole tiled area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We leave the room as we found it
