How we handle tile repair in Great Dalby

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. Whether it’s chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings, we can generally put it right.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace

Our hiring checklist

Should you replace it?

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. Our tile repair starts 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

Take a look at our full price list.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Great Dalby. What changes the price is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area

For a price in Great Dalby, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
