About our tile repair in Ford

The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We regularly repair ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and marble, and the jobs we see most are cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Wiltshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

  • Whole walls of failing grout

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is

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.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole tiled area, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Do you need tile repair in Ford?

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

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How your room will be protected
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How changes to the job are handled
