Tile repair in Handsworth without replacing anything

The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. If you’re dealing with chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, we can usually put it right, on marble, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlord and trade work in Handsworth

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

For anyone letting property in or around Handsworth, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repair or replace in Handsworth?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

FAQs for Handsworth

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Do I have to be there?

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

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What information do you need?

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

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

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

Honest limits

In fairness, 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 pictures and we will say what we think.

What affects the price in Handsworth

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Handsworth. The price comes down to:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Handsworth. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
