About our tile repair in East Lockinge

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 tell you. If you are dealing with cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can help.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in East Lockinge and across Oxfordshire. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in East Lockinge

  • Porcelain tiles
  • Ceramic tiles

  • Marble

What affects the price in East Lockinge

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for East Lockinge. The price reflects:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

East Lockinge questions

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Landlord and trade work in East Lockinge

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in East Lockinge as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
