Trusted tile repair in Gilbertstone

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

How we handle tile repair in Gilbertstone

The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We regularly repair floor and wall tiles, natural stone & granite and marble, and people most frequently call us about cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Choosing a repair company

Common questions in Gilbertstone

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Frequently, yes, if it is not loose.

When can you do it?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Do you cover the entire of Birmingham?

We cover the entire UK, including Gilbertstone and the rest of Birmingham. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

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

Will you leave a mess?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Gilbertstone. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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 photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Gilbertstone

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

See our prices page.

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Ensure the area is dry

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
