Tile repair in Holcombe

Tile repair in Holcombe, done in place

We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. If you’re dealing with drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can help, whatever the material.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Holcombe: your questions answered

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

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

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Holcombe. The price comes down to:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the entire tiled area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Repair or replace in Holcombe?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

See our prices page.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Holcombe as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  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. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
