Tile repair in Galemire

How we handle tile repair in Galemire

The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. If you are dealing with drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can help, on ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and porcelain tiles alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace in Galemire?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

10 questions to ask before booking

Can I fix it myself?

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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Work for landlords and builders

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.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What affects the price in Galemire

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
