Tile repair near Cuidhir

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Tile repair in Cuidhir, done in place

We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. If you are dealing with cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can help, on porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles and floor and wall tiles alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Why repair rather than replace?

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. 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How it works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

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

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • A photo taken from further back

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your HS9 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Common problems we fix in Cuidhir

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Damaged tile edges
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What prep work is covered
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Questions from Cuidhir

What does tile repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
