How we handle tile repair in Fairwater

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. We work on porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles and marble, and common reasons people get in touch are damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

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

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • 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.

What we work on

  • Marble
  • Porcelain tiles
  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Ceramic tiles
  • Natural stone & granite

When to call us in Fairwater

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Cracked floor tiles

Repairing versus replacing in Fairwater

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Fairwater clients choose us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the area is dry

Common questions in Fairwater

Do you cover Fairwater?

We do. We send a technician to Fairwater for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

How do I book?

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

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

How much does tile repair cost in Fairwater?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Fairwater. The price comes down to:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

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. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
