Tile repair for Criccieth homes

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

How we handle tile repair in Criccieth

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We work on ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles, and people most frequently call us about damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Your questions about tile repair in Criccieth

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can you quote from pictures?

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

How much does tile repair cost in Criccieth?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • How many areas need work

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Ceramic tiles
  • Porcelain tiles
  • Natural stone & granite

What your quote should include

10 questions to ask before you book

The process

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
