Tile repair in Hildersham

Tile repair at your home in Hildersham

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. We regularly repair porcelain tiles, marble and floor and wall tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  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
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Landlord and trade work in Hildersham

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Rental properties take more wear, 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.

What a repair can’t fix

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot 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 pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Hildersham

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Hildersham, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

FAQs for Hildersham

Do you cover the whole of Cambridgeshire?

The entire UK, including all of Cambridgeshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
