Tile repair near Foston

Tile repair at your home in Foston

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If you’re dealing with chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, we can usually put it right, on ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and natural stone & granite alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Foston and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Repairing versus replacing in Foston

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

When a repair isn’t the answer

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Most clients in Foston get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
