Tile repair near Gisleham

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Tile repair in Gisleham, done in place

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. We work on floor and wall tiles, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles, and people most often call us about discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

Gisleham questions

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

Common problems we fix in Gisleham

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

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools

Comparing quotes

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How changes to the job are handled

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gisleham use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • 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’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A photo taken from further back

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
