About our tile repair in Flempton

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. We work on porcelain tiles, marble and natural stone & granite, and common reasons people get in touch are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Flempton

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Flempton, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Common questions in Flempton

Can landlords book you?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How do I get a price for tile repair in Flempton?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your IP28 postcode.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

What about drill holes in tiles?

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

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

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

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
