Tile repair in Elton

How we handle tile repair in Elton

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. Our technicians work on ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlord and trade work in Elton

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

If you manage property in Elton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Can I fix it myself?

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting 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 you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Elton questions

Are there extra charges for Elton?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What about drill holes in tiles?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
