Trusted tile repair in Durdar

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Tile repair in Durdar without replacing anything

We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Our repair technicians work on marble, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles, and people most frequently call us about drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Your questions about tile repair in Durdar

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Usually, if it is not loose.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you cover Durdar?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Durdar. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

How much does tile repair cost in Durdar?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why Durdar customers choose us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We leave the room as we found it

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Durdar. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Durdar. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
