Book tile repair in Hinstock

The process

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

Tile repair in Hinstock without replacing anything

The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We regularly repair marble, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles, and people most often call us about drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Hinstock and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Replacing a 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.

We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole tiled area

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole tiled area, we can give you a fixed quote.

Hinstock: your questions answered

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Shropshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
