Tile repair for Grotton homes

Your questions about tile repair in Grotton

When can you do it?

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

Do you work in Grotton?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Grotton. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Typically, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Tile repair at your home in Grotton

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. Our repair technicians work on floor and wall tiles, ceramic tiles and natural stone & granite, and common reasons people get in touch are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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 will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Related advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Grotton

Letting agents frequently 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.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What affects the price in Grotton

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
