Tile repair in Fernilee, done in place

We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Common call-outs are for cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges, on porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles.

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

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Fernilee, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

FAQs for Fernilee

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Are there extra charges for Fernilee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

What does tile repair cost?

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
