Tile repair in Garthorpe

Tile repair in Garthorpe without replacing anything

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We work on marble, porcelain tiles and natural stone & granite, and common reasons people get in touch are damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Garthorpe

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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.

If you manage property in Garthorpe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Garthorpe: your questions answered

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Do you come to Garthorpe?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Garthorpe for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

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

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Honest limits

Some jobs aren’t 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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  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. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price
