Repairing versus replacing in Gay Street

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Gay Street. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Tile repair at your home in Gay Street

We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. If you’re dealing with chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What affects the price in Gay Street

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Gay Street. What changes the price is:

  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

When to call us in Gay Street

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Customers usually contact us about:

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

Before booking anyone

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How soon you can use it again
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

How to compare quotes

How it works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t 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

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

FAQs for Gay Street

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
