Tile repair in Hatford without replacing anything

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Hatford and across Oxfordshire. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Hatford questions
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you work in Hatford?
We do. We send a technician to Hatford for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Repairing versus replacing in Hatford
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
