Tile repair near Higher Clovelly

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing 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.

About our tile repair in Higher Clovelly

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Our technicians work on porcelain tiles, marble and ceramic tiles, and common reasons people contact us are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles.

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 use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Higher Clovelly

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Higher Clovelly use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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 will say what we think before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

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.

What we’re called out for in Higher Clovelly

Our hiring checklist

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Colour-matched on site

Read our full price list.

What tile repair costs

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

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Your questions about tile repair in Higher Clovelly

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
