Tile repair in Holwell without replacing anything

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If you’re dealing with cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can help.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

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

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

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 price the job without visiting.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Holwell

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Holwell questions

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.

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

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Common problems we fix in Holwell

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Holwell

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
