About our tile repair in Forge Wood

The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Whether it’s cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings, we can normally put it right, on ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and marble alike.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Forge Wood: your questions answered

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

How much does tile repair cost in Forge Wood?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Forge Wood.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

10 questions to ask before you book

Landlords, agents and businesses in Forge Wood

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For a price in Forge Wood, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
