Tile repair in Cowie

How we handle tile repair in Cowie

We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We work on floor and wall tiles, marble and porcelain tiles, and the jobs we see most are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges.

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 clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Questions from Cowie

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Landlord and trade work in Cowie

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.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

The process

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We level and shape the repair 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

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

Advice

What affects the price in Cowie

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Cowie. What changes the price is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Why repair rather than replace?

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. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
