Tile repair in Goverseth

Tile repair in Goverseth without replacing anything

The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Our repair technicians work on marble, floor and wall tiles and natural stone & granite, and the jobs we see most are cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What we are called out for in Goverseth

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Drill holes from removed fittings

Questions to ask before you book

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How the colour is matched
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Our hiring checklist

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • 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 will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Goverseth clients choose us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A fixed quote before you book

Goverseth questions

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can you quote from photos?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

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

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Goverseth, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole tiled area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
