Tile repair in Cresswell, done in place

We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We are often asked to fix chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, on natural stone & granite, marble and ceramic tiles.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Cresswell as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Choosing a repair company

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

Repairing versus replacing in Cresswell

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Do you cover Cresswell?

We do. We send a technician to Cresswell for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Frequently, yes, if it isn’t loose.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

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

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

What affects the price in Cresswell

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Cresswell. The price comes down to:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Cresswell. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size

Most customers in Cresswell get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

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
