Tile repair in Gamston without replacing anything

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Our repair technicians work on ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and porcelain tiles, and the jobs we see most are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Our hiring checklist

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gamston

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

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

Related advice

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • 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 photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Your questions about tile repair in Gamston

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

What areas do you cover?

All of Nottinghamshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Usually, if it isn’t loose.
