Trusted tile repair in Ganavan

Tile repair at your home in Ganavan

The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Our repair technicians work on marble, ceramic tiles and natural stone & granite, and common reasons people contact us are damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  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

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

There’s 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 will reply with a fixed price.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ganavan as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

What affects the price in Ganavan

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Most customers in Ganavan get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • 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 will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Ceramic tiles
  • Marble
  • Floor and wall tiles

Choosing a repair company

Common questions in Ganavan

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Often, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Repair or replace in Ganavan?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
