How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Tile repair in Higher Wincombe without replacing anything

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’ll tell you. We’re frequently asked to fix discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges, in ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and porcelain tiles.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

What affects the price in Higher Wincombe

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Higher Wincombe. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Higher Wincombe, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
