10 questions to ask before booking

Tile repair at your home in Foxton

We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. If you are dealing with drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles, we can normally put it right.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

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

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after 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. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

What affects the price in Foxton

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Foxton questions

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Do you work in Foxton?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Foxton and the rest of Northamptonshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Will it make a mess?

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

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
