Tile repair in Harford

Tile repair in Harford, done in place

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. We are often asked to fix discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges, across porcelain tiles, marble and ceramic tiles.

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

Our hiring checklist

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  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 us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

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 frequently lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Common questions in Harford

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Are there extra charges for Harford?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
