What affects the price in Headington Quarry

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

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

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Signs you need tile repair in Headington Quarry

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

  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools

10 questions to ask before you book

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t 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 before you book.

Materials we work on in Headington Quarry

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

FAQs for Headington Quarry

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Typically, if it isn’t loose.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
