Tile repair in Coton

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

How we handle tile repair in Coton

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. We work on marble, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles, and people most frequently call us about drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

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

Do you need tile repair in Coton?

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Drill holes from removed fittings

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Coton: your questions answered

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Coton included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repairing versus replacing in Coton

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Coton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
