Tile repair near Friars Cliff

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

About our tile repair in Friars Cliff

The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. Typical jobs include chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings, on porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles.

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

Work for landlords and builders

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.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage

Your questions about tile repair in Friars Cliff

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

When can you do it?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Generally, if it isn’t loose.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What affects the price in Friars Cliff

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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 pictures and we will say what we think.
