Your questions about tile repair in Hickling

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Leicestershire.

Are there extra charges for Hickling?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Will it make a mess?

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

How we handle tile repair in Hickling

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 will say so. Our repair technicians work on marble, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles, and the jobs we see most are drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repairing versus replacing in Hickling

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

When to call us in Hickling

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Drill holes from removed fittings

Questions to ask before you book

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How long it needs to cure

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

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

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area

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