Trusted tile repair in Forton

Tile repair in Forton, done in place

We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. Our technicians work on ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles, and common reasons people contact us are damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. 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.

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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.

Forton: your questions answered

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

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

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

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

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

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PO12 postcode.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Forton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

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.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start 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.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Forton. What changes the price is:

  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean the tile and remove 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. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

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