Tile repair in East Bowling

How we handle tile repair in East Bowling

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We are frequently asked to fix drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, in natural stone & granite, marble and porcelain tiles.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Common questions in East Bowling

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire tiled area and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

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.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in East Bowling

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in East Bowling as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We clean the tile and remove 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.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
