Tile repair for Greendykes homes

FAQs for Greendykes

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can pets and children be at home?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire tiled area and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Tile repair in Greendykes without replacing anything

The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. Our technicians work on marble, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Before and after: damaged granite tiles repaired in place

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Greendykes. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • A fixed quote before you book

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole tiled area
  • The material, if you know it

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Greendykes

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

What we are called out for in Greendykes

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

Customers typically contact us about:

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

Before booking anyone

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • If travel is included in the price

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
