Tile repair in Holm, done in place

The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. If you are dealing with drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

FAQs for Holm

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

How much does tile repair cost in Holm?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Do you need tile repair in Holm?

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Damaged tile edges
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
  • Cracked floor tiles

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who will actually do the work

Honest limits

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

The process

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole tiled area, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
