Book tile repair in Hilton

Tile repair at your home in Hilton

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Typical jobs include chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles, across porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles and floor and wall tiles.

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 a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

10 questions to ask before you book

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Repair or replace in Hilton?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why Hilton customers choose us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Work done at your home or business

Your questions about tile repair in Hilton

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Do you cover Hilton?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Hilton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Often, yes, if it is not loose.

Do you cover the entire of Dorset?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
