How we handle tile repair in Giltbrook
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Typical jobs include drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools, on porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Your questions about tile repair in Giltbrook
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Are there extra charges for Giltbrook?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
