How we handle tile repair in Hemingford Abbots

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Typical jobs include damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles, on floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and marble.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Hemingford Abbots as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Everything repaired in place
  • We leave the room as we found it

See our prices page.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

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 does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your PE28 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
