Tile repair near Crawleyside

Tile repair in Crawleyside without replacing anything

The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. If you are dealing with drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Your questions about tile repair in Crawleyside

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Often, yes, if it isn’t loose.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole tiled area and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How to compare quotes

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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.

What we work on

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

What affects the price in Crawleyside

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Most customers in Crawleyside get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

What you get with us

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
