How we handle tile repair in Downham

We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We work on ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and marble, and people most often call us about discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repairing versus replacing in Downham

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. We do not add 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.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

See our prices page.

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Downham questions

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Will the price change on the day?

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

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Downham included. Travel is included in the price.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How much does tile repair cost in Downham?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your BB7 postcode.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • 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 photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Downham. The price comes down to:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas

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.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your BB7 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Landlord and trade work in Downham

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

When to call us in Downham

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

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

Before you book anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Aftercare advice
