Tile repair at your home in Cromdale

The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. 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 chips from dropped pans and tools, we can help, on ceramic tiles, marble and porcelain tiles alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. The repair is levelled 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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

Cromdale: your questions answered

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Do you cover Cromdale?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Cromdale from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

How much does tile repair cost in Cromdale?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Is my repair covered?

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

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Often, yes, if it is not loose.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

When we’d advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that will not 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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Repairing versus replacing in Cromdale

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Work done at your home or business

What affects the price in Cromdale

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What we are called out for in Cromdale

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Drill holes from removed fittings

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How soon you can use it again
