Trusted tile repair in Failand

Tile repair in Failand, done in place

We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We regularly repair porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles, and the jobs we see most are drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Common questions in Failand

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire tiled area and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you come to Failand?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Failand. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What affects the price in Failand

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit

A few things move the price: 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.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.

  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. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
