Tile repair in Gattonside, done in place

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. We’re frequently asked to fix damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings, in marble, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Gattonside. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole tiled area, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • 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 you book.

What we work on

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

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

10 questions to ask before you book

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colour-matched on site

Read our prices page.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing 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. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
