Need tile repair in East Knighton?

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

Tile repair in East Knighton, done in place

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 work on marble, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles, and people most often call us about drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles.

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 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:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire tiled area
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Most customers in East Knighton get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
