Tile repair near Hilton

Tile repair in Hilton, done in place

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. We regularly repair ceramic tiles, marble and porcelain tiles, and common reasons people contact us are cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repairing versus replacing in Hilton

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One visit for most repairs

Read our full price list.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • 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’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hilton

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.

If you manage property in Hilton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Signs you need tile repair in Hilton

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

People usually call us when they notice something like this:

  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Damaged tile edges

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

How we price tile repair

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

  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For a price in Hilton, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair 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.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
