About our tile repair in Heatherfield

We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. Typical jobs include drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges, in natural stone & granite, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Heatherfield as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repairing versus replacing in Heatherfield

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Your questions about tile repair in Heatherfield

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Heatherfield.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Our hiring checklist

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Related advice

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Heatherfield, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

When a repair is not the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • 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 pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Natural stone & granite

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
