Tile repair in Gelsmoor

Tile repair in Gelsmoor, done in place

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. Whether it’s discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings, we can help, whatever the material.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

How much does tile repair cost in Gelsmoor?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your LE67 postcode.

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Signs you need tile repair in Gelsmoor

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

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

10 questions to ask before booking

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gelsmoor as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
