How we handle tile repair in Fox Street

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Whether it’s chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Common questions in Fox Street

Is my repair covered?

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

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Do you cover Fox Street?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Fox Street. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How much does tile repair cost in Fox Street?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole tiled area and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Fox Street

  • Marble
  • Porcelain tiles
  • Ceramic tiles
  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Natural stone & granite

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fox Street use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

When to call us in Fox Street

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Cracked floor tiles

Questions to ask before you book

  • How to look after the finish
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How soon you can use it again

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
