About our tile repair in Garth

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. Whether it’s discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles, we can help, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Garth and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t 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 booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Garth

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One visit for most repairs

See our prices page.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Garth use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

What affects the price in Garth

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When to call us in Garth

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Damaged tile edges

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

10 questions to ask before booking

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

FAQs for Garth

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

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