How we handle tile repair in Hare Street

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. We work on ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and marble, and people most frequently call us about chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you manage property in Hare Street, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas

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

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CM5 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs are not 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
