Need tile repair in Farringdon?

Tile repair in Farringdon without replacing anything

The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Whether it’s cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can help, on natural stone & granite, marble and floor and wall tiles alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Farringdon: your questions answered

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What about drill holes in tiles?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

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 photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Farringdon

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Common problems we fix in Farringdon

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

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Damaged tile edges

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What affects the price in Farringdon

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
