Tile repair at your home in Earcroft

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. Our repair technicians work on porcelain tiles, marble and floor and wall tiles, and people most often call us about cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

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

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Most customers in Earcroft get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

If you manage property in Earcroft, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

How it works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  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. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repairing versus replacing in Earcroft

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
