Tile repair in Deaf Hill without replacing anything

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Common call-outs are for cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools, in floor and wall tiles, marble and ceramic tiles.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

10 questions to ask before you book

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

What affects the price in Deaf Hill

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Deaf Hill

If you manage property in Deaf Hill, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Deaf Hill use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colour-matched on site

FAQs for Deaf Hill

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Deaf Hill.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Can you price it without visiting?

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