FAQs for Ham

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Usually, if it is not loose.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

About our tile repair in Ham

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. Typical jobs include drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, in marble, natural stone & granite and porcelain tiles.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Ham. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ham as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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 before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
