How we handle tile repair in Farmborough

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. Common call-outs are for discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools, across ceramic tiles, marble and porcelain tiles.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Farmborough as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Questions from Farmborough

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Generally, if it isn’t loose.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

What happens after I send pictures?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How it works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean the tile and remove 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. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Landlord and trade work in Farmborough

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

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.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

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

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

If you’re in Farmborough and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
