Tile repair in Elmstead

Tile repair at your home in Elmstead

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If you are dealing with discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings, we can usually put it right, on porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and marble alike.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Elmstead questions

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

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

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

How much does tile repair cost in Elmstead?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

What about drill holes in tiles?

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

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Elmstead. The price comes down to:

  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material

A repair typically 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 pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What we cannot put right

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 will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy 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. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your BR7 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
