Tile repair in Fairford Leys without replacing anything

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. We regularly repair ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

10 questions to ask before booking

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  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. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Repairing versus replacing in Fairford Leys

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

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

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Buckinghamshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
