About our tile repair in Great Musgrave

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. Typical jobs include damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings, across ceramic tiles, marble and porcelain tiles.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Great Musgrave and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

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

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

The process

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

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. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

FAQs for Great Musgrave

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Typically, if it isn’t loose.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Do you come to Great Musgrave?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Great Musgrave from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

10 questions to ask before booking

Can I fix it myself?

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 then the old filler has to be removed 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.

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CA17 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
