How we handle tile repair in Ely

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. Whether it’s cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Ely and across Cambridgeshire. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used 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 match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Ely. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

FAQs for Ely

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you work in Ely?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Ely. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Is my repair covered?

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