Tile repair for Hele homes

Tile repair at your home in Hele

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’ll say so. Typical jobs include cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, across floor and wall tiles, marble and natural stone & granite.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

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

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back

Most customers in Hele get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Get a quote

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
