How we handle tile repair in High Cross

We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We regularly repair porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and marble, and common reasons people contact us are chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What affects the price in High Cross

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

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in High Cross, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in High Cross use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • 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’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

Is there a guarantee?

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

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.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after 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 match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
