How we handle tile repair in Gate Head

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 will say so. Our repair technicians work on natural stone & granite, ceramic tiles and floor and wall tiles, and people most frequently call us about discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Our hiring checklist

Repairing versus replacing in Gate Head

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Everything repaired in place
  • A fixed quote before you book

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gate Head

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole tiled area, we can give you a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage

Honest limits

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • 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’ll say what we think before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Questions from Gate Head

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Will it make a mess?

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

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire tiled area and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Are there extra charges for Gate Head?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do I have to be there?

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