About our tile repair in Desford

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. We work on marble, ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles, and common reasons people contact us are chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • 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.

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Desford. What changes the price is:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Desford. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repair or replace in Desford?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Desford: your questions answered

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What does tile repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

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.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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 Desford

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
