Your questions about tile repair in Grimness
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire tiled area and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Often, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How much does tile repair cost in Grimness?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Common problems we fix in Grimness
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Damaged tile edges
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Cracked floor tiles
Questions to ask before you book
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How the room is protected while they work
Can I fix it myself?
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 typically cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Grimness. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Grimness
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.
