Tile Repair for Gilcrux homes

Tile repair in Gilcrux without replacing anything
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If you are dealing with chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can usually put it right.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Your questions about tile repair in Gilcrux
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Normally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
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.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Should you replace it?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
