About our tile repair in Gravel Castle

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. Whether it’s discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges, we can help.

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 use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. 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 match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can

What affects the price in Gravel Castle

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole tiled area
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Gravel Castle: your questions answered

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Are you accredited?

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

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

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

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

When to call us in Gravel Castle

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

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

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

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Our hiring checklist

When a repair is not the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Repairing versus replacing in Gravel Castle

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
