Trusted tile repair in Foxhole

Tile repair in Foxhole without replacing anything

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. Whether it’s discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings, we can help, on marble, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Common questions in Foxhole

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Foxhole. Prices don’t change with location.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Are there extra charges for Foxhole?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What does tile repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

Advice

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not always the answer, 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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in Foxhole

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Foxhole. The price comes down to:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
