Need tile repair in Craig's End?

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the area is dry

Advice

Tile repair in Craig's End, done in place

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Whether it’s damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can help, whatever the material.

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

Choosing a repair company

When we’d advise against a repair

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Craig's End: your questions answered

How do I get a price for tile repair in Craig's End?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your CO9 postcode.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Craig's End. What changes the price is:

  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Landlord and trade work in Craig's End

If you manage property in Craig's End, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
