Trusted tile repair in Drakewalls

Tile repair in Drakewalls without replacing anything

The tile stays where it is, so there is 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 chips from dropped pans and tools, we can help, on floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles alike.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

10 questions to ask before booking

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What affects the price in Drakewalls

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the whole tiled area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your PL18 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
