10 questions to ask before you book

Tile repair at your home in Cross

We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Whether it’s discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges, we can help.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Repair or replace in Cross?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • No need to remove anything
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

Take a look at our full price list.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish

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.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole tiled area, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Cross: your questions answered

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Often, yes, if it is not loose.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do I have to be there?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
