Tile repair in Eggbuckland, done in place

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. We are often asked to fix cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools, on floor and wall tiles, natural stone & granite and porcelain tiles.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Repairing versus replacing in Eggbuckland

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Common questions in Eggbuckland

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

Signs you need tile repair in Eggbuckland

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Damaged tile edges

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who turns up on the day
  • When it can be used again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
