Tile repair for Godwinscroft homes

Repairing versus replacing in Godwinscroft

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

About our tile repair in Godwinscroft

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If you’re dealing with cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings, we can generally put it right.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What affects the price in Godwinscroft

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

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 quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your BH23 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Godwinscroft questions

Is there a guarantee?

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

What does tile repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Do you come to Godwinscroft?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Godwinscroft from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

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

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

What about drill holes in tiles?

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

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Often, yes, if it is not loose.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

When to call us in Godwinscroft

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

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

Before booking anyone

  • Who turns up on the day
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Our hiring checklist

Landlords, agents and businesses in Godwinscroft

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer before booking.
