How we handle tile repair in Great Oakley

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’ll tell you. We’re frequently asked to fix drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles, in natural stone & granite, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

FAQs for Great Oakley

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Can you quote from photos?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Great Oakley

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Common problems we fix in Great Oakley

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. 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
  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Northamptonshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
