Tile repair for Greenhead homes

Tile repair at your home in Greenhead

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Typical jobs include drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles, on porcelain tiles, marble and natural stone & granite.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

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 price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Related advice

Should you replace it?

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. Our tile repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Everything repaired in place
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Greenhead. The price reflects:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Greenhead, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Greenhead

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

Clients typically contact us about:

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

Work for landlords and builders

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.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Can I fix it myself?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

FAQs for Greenhead

Do I need to be at home?

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
