Tile repair in Cross, done in place

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. 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 porcelain tiles, and the jobs we see most are damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Your questions about tile repair in Cross

Do you come to Cross?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Cross from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Typically, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Cross. The price comes down to:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • The material

No two jobs are quite the same, 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.
