Tile repair in Four Gates

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Four Gates. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire tiled area

If you’re in Four Gates and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Tile repair in Four Gates, done in place

We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. If you’re dealing with discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings, we can normally put it right.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

10 questions to ask before booking

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

See our prices page.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  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 match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

Four Gates questions

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

How much does tile repair cost in Four Gates?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Generally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Four Gates. Prices do not change with location.

What about drill holes in tiles?

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
