Tile repair near Gorebridge

Landlord and trade work in Gorebridge

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Letting agents frequently 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.

Tile repair in Gorebridge, done in place

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. If you are dealing with damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can usually put it right.

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

Your questions about tile repair in Gorebridge

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Are there extra charges for Gorebridge?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Generally, if it is not loose.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

10 questions to ask before you book

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

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.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do:

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Gorebridge. The price reflects:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
