Tile repair near Fern

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole tiled area, we can give you a fixed quote.

About our tile repair in Fern

We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Common call-outs are for damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools, on ceramic tiles, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Fern

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • What preparation is included
  • If travel is included in the price

  • How changes to the job are handled

How to compare quotes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Fern

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

For anyone letting property in or around Fern, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • One picture of the entire tiled area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Everything repaired in place
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Common questions in Fern

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

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

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Generally, if it is not loose.

What about drill holes in tiles?

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

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

When can you do it?

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
