How we handle tile repair in Gailey

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. We are often asked to fix cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges, in natural stone & granite, ceramic tiles and marble.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What affects the price in Gailey

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Gailey. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • A picture taken from further back

Most customers in Gailey get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Gailey: your questions answered

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

How do I get a price for tile repair in Gailey?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your ST19 postcode.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Will you leave a mess?

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

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Gailey, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Staffordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
