How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Tile repair at your home in Garnethill

We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We regularly repair floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and natural stone & granite, and the jobs we see most are drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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 before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

Do you need tile repair in Garnethill?

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools

Choosing a repair company

Your questions about tile repair in Garnethill

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Garnethill.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Generally, if it isn’t loose.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Garnethill

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Garnethill. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Repair or replace in Garnethill?

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. Our tile repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Colour-matched on site
  • A fixed quote before you book
