How we handle tile repair in Cothill

We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. Whether it’s cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can normally put it right, on porcelain tiles, marble and floor and wall tiles alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • 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’ll give you a straight answer.

What affects the price in Cothill

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Cothill. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the entire tiled area

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What we are called out for in Cothill

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Cracked floor tiles

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Aftercare advice
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

10 questions to ask before you book

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged 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. A few things move the price: 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.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Cothill questions

What information do you need?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How soon can you come?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Generally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Will you leave a mess?

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

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. 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. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole tiled area, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
