About our tile repair in Gilbert's Coombe

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If you are dealing with drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles, we can help, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Gilbert's Coombe questions

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

How do I get a price for tile repair in Gilbert's Coombe?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your TR16 postcode.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Usually, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to compare quotes

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 you book.

Materials we repair

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

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Gilbert's Coombe. The price reflects:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For a price in Gilbert's Coombe, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
