Trusted tile repair in Hackthorn

Tile repair in Hackthorn without replacing anything

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. Our repair technicians work on ceramic tiles, marble and porcelain 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 in Hackthorn and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  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
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Hackthorn. What changes the price is:

  • How much damage there is

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it

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’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

When we would advise against a repair

  • 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 will tell you honestly.

  • Ceramic tiles

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
