Need tile repair in Forgewood?

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 Forgewood

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

Tile repair at your home in Forgewood

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. We regularly repair porcelain tiles, marble and ceramic tiles, and people most frequently call us about discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • 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

For a price in Forgewood, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Forgewood: your questions answered

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole tiled area and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

What about drill holes in tiles?

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

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

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.

Landlord and trade work in Forgewood

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What happens on the day

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 normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for 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 you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
