Tile repair in Gilbert Street

Tile repair in Gilbert Street without replacing anything

We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We’re often asked to fix discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings, across marble, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Do you need tile repair in Gilbert Street?

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Our hiring checklist

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

  • 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Repairing versus replacing in Gilbert Street

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A photo taken from further back

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Questions from Gilbert Street

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

How much does tile repair cost in Gilbert Street?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Usually, if it isn’t loose.

Can you quote from pictures?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Landlord and trade work in Gilbert Street

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. 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 clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
