Tile repair near Halleaths

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

How we handle tile repair in Halleaths

We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Typical jobs include discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools, in floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and natural stone & granite.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

  • Cracked floor tiles

Choosing a repair company

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Landlords, agents and businesses in Halleaths

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Halleaths as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DG11 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
