Tile repair in Elvaston, done in place

We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Our technicians work on marble, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles, and the jobs we see most are cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repairing versus replacing in Elvaston

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

What affects the price in Elvaston

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Elvaston. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Most customers in Elvaston get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Common problems we fix in Elvaston

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Damaged tile edges

Common questions in Elvaston

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

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

Do you cover Elvaston?

We do. Technicians travel to Elvaston from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Natural stone & granite
