About our tile repair in Fole

The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We’re often asked to fix cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, on floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Staffordshire. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Signs you need tile repair in Fole

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

The things customers generally mention when they call are:

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

Before you book anyone

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How the room is protected while they work

Choosing a repair company

Fole: your questions answered

Will the price change on the day?

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

What about drill holes in tiles?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Staffordshire.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Are there extra charges for Fole?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Normally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Advice

Honest limits

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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Fole

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why Fole clients choose us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
