How we handle tile repair in Downholland Cross

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. If you’re dealing with chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, we can help.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Downholland Cross questions

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Generally, if it isn’t loose.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Landlord and trade work in Downholland Cross

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Downholland Cross. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Repairing versus replacing in Downholland Cross

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Work done at your home or business

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

How to compare quotes

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
