Tile repair in Heston, done in place

The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Whether it’s chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles, we can help, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repairing versus replacing in Heston

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What we cannot put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 booking.

Materials we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Heston

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

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How the visit works

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 any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

Questions from Heston

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What does tile repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your TW5 postcode.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Heston. Prices do not change with location.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
