Tile repair in Horne without replacing anything

We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. Typical jobs include chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles, in floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and marble.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What a repair can’t fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

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

Landlord and trade work in Horne

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Horne: your questions answered

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Surrey, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

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

How to compare quotes

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
