Need tile repair in Horse Race End?

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Ceramic tiles
  • Porcelain tiles
  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Natural stone & granite
  • Marble

Tile repair at your home in Horse Race End

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We regularly repair porcelain tiles, marble and natural stone & granite, and people most often call us about damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Horse Race End questions

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire tiled area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For a price in Horse Race End, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
