Tile repair near Elton

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Elton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Tile repair at your home in Elton

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. Whether it’s cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges, we can help, on natural stone & granite, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles alike.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Whole walls of failing grout

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Porcelain tiles
  • Marble

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, 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. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
