About our tile repair in Higherford

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Typical jobs include drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools, across ceramic tiles, floor and wall tiles and marble.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not 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 Higherford

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Higherford. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Higherford. What changes the price is:

  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire tiled area

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 will tell you honestly.
