Tile repair near East Mains

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for East Mains. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Work done at your home or business

Tile repair in East Mains without replacing anything

We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We work on marble, floor and wall tiles and natural stone & granite, and the jobs we see most are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in East Mains as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Questions from East Mains

Are there extra charges for East Mains?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you cover East Mains?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to East Mains. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Choosing a repair company

Landlord and trade work in East Mains

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can 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’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Marble
  • Porcelain tiles
  • Ceramic tiles
  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Natural stone & granite

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

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