About our tile repair in Hartle

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. We’re frequently asked to fix discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings, on porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and marble.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What affects the price in Hartle

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

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

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire tiled area

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

What we’re called out for in Hartle

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

Before booking anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • If travel is included in the price

How to compare quotes

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ask for a price

Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your DY9 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.
