Choosing a repair company

Tile repair at your home in Flash

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 will tell you. We’re frequently asked to fix cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges, on natural stone & granite, ceramic tiles and floor and wall tiles.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Landlord and trade work in Flash

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Related advice

Repairing versus replacing in Flash

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Common questions in Flash

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What about drill holes in tiles?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What information do you need?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
