Tile repair in Docklow

Tile repair at your home in Docklow

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. Whether it’s cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can generally put it right.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Choosing a repair company

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Docklow, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

How it works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

For anyone letting property in or around Docklow, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
