Tile repair in Ellel

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Tile repair in Ellel without replacing anything

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. We work on floor and wall tiles, marble and porcelain tiles, and common reasons people contact us are drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  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

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

When a repair is not the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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 booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ellel

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

FAQs for Ellel

Do the materials smell?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Usually, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Ellel included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • No need to remove anything

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is 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.

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