Trusted tile repair in Cross End

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We level and shape the repair 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.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Tile repair at your home in Cross End

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. Typical jobs include discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles, in ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

10 questions to ask before booking

Cross End questions

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Are there extra charges for Cross End?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Will it make a mess?

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

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cross End use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire tiled area, we can give you a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Cross End

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Most jobs done in one visit
