Tile repair in Cottisford, done in place

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Typical jobs include damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings, in ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and natural stone & granite.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Common questions in Cottisford

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Are you accredited?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire tiled area and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

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

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Ensure the area is dry

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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.

  • Marble
