How we handle tile repair in Four Lanes

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. If you’re dealing with cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Four Lanes

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

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

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Four Lanes. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For a price in Four Lanes, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Four Lanes questions

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Usually, if it isn’t loose.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you quote from pictures?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What about drill holes in tiles?

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

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
