Tile repair for Headon homes

How we handle tile repair in Headon

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Our technicians work on natural stone & granite, floor and wall tiles and marble, and the jobs we see most are cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

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

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Headon. The price comes down to:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • One picture of the whole tiled area
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Headon questions

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Nottinghamshire.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

Can you quote from pictures?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

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

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

When to call us in Headon

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What prep work is covered

Choosing a repair company

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
