Repairing versus replacing in Elstree

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.

Tile repair in Elstree, done in place

We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. Whether it’s chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes

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

Send photos for a quote

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Our hiring checklist

Your questions about tile repair in Elstree

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Often, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Are there extra charges for Elstree?

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

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Elstree. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean the tile and remove 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. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
