Tile repair in East Cowes without replacing anything

The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We regularly repair ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire tiled area, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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 tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. The repair is levelled 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

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Common questions in East Cowes

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Does someone need to be in?

What does tile repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Landlords, agents and businesses in East Cowes

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

10 questions to ask before booking

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us
