How we handle tile repair in Great Cowden

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If you’re dealing with discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges, we can typically put it right, on marble, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Signs you need tile repair in Great Cowden

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

These are the problems we are asked about most:

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

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.

  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. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
