Tile repair at your home in Evenwood

We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. If you are dealing with damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can help.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Evenwood, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Evenwood. The price comes down to:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a repair cannot fix

We would rather lose a job than do one 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 before you book.

What we are called out for in Evenwood

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools

Questions to ask before booking

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Our hiring checklist

Evenwood: your questions answered

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Are there extra charges for Evenwood?

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

Can you quote from photos?

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

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole tiled area and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

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