Tile repair near Harrold

Tile repair at your home in Harrold

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If you’re dealing with discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can help.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What tile repair costs

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

  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back

Most customers in Harrold get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 repair

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

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Harrold, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Harrold as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

How to compare quotes

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Harrold: your questions answered

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
