Need tile repair in Elton?

For landlords and businesses

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.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

How we handle tile repair in Elton

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If you’re dealing with chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can help.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Questions from Elton

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How do I get a price for tile repair in Elton?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Elton. What changes the price is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match

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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • One picture of the whole tiled area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing 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. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
