Trusted tile repair in Forton

Tile repair at your home in Forton

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. We work on ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and natural stone & granite, and people most frequently call us about chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Forton and across Somerset. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

Forton questions

Do you come to Forton?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Forton. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Are there extra charges for Forton?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Frequently, yes, if it isn’t loose.

How much does tile repair cost in Forton?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Our hiring checklist

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
