Tile repair for Harray homes

Tile repair at your home in Harray

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. Common call-outs are for discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings, in marble, floor and wall tiles and natural stone & granite.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Questions from Harray

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Frequently, yes, if it isn’t loose.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do I have to be there?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

How do I get a price for tile repair in Harray?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • 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 photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Harray

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

What affects the price in Harray

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire tiled area

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

Do you need tile repair in Harray?

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Damaged tile edges
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

How to compare quotes

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Harray

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
