How we handle tile repair in Higher End

The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Typical jobs include damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, in floor and wall tiles, ceramic tiles and marble.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What affects the price in Higher End

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Higher End. What changes the price is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Higher End. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire tiled area

If you’re in Higher End and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Higher End

  • Marble

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Your questions about tile repair in Higher End

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

How much does tile repair cost in Higher End?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Usually, if it is not loose.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would 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. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
