Tile repair near Doonfoot

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 won’t last.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How we handle tile repair in Doonfoot

We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. If you are dealing with cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges, we can help.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Common questions in Doonfoot

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Doonfoot. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Doonfoot

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

When to call us in Doonfoot

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Cracked floor tiles

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How to care for the finish
  • How soon you can use it again

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

See our pricing.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Doonfoot as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  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. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
