Tile repair in Hamstead

How we handle tile repair in Hamstead

We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. Whether it’s drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can typically put it right, on natural stone & granite, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles alike.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A photo taken from further back

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, 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 will tell you honestly.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Questions from Hamstead

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Often, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you cover Hamstead?

We do. We send a technician to Hamstead for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
