Tile repair in Fishponds

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Advice

Tile repair in Fishponds, done in place

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We regularly repair porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and marble, and common reasons people get in touch are drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Do you need tile repair in Fishponds?

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

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Damaged tile edges

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

FAQs for Fishponds

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Will it make a mess?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

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

Repairing versus replacing in Fishponds

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

See our prices page.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Fishponds

For anyone letting property in or around Fishponds, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
