Trusted tile repair in Hawkshead

Tile repair at your home in Hawkshead

We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. Common call-outs are for discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools, in natural stone & granite, ceramic tiles and marble.

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

Hawkshead questions

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Repairing versus replacing in Hawkshead

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not 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’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hawkshead

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

What affects the price in Hawkshead

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is

Every job is a little different, 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.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.
