Tile repair in Horton

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Tile repair in Horton, done in place

We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We are often asked to fix drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles, on natural stone & granite, floor and wall tiles and marble.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What affects the price in Horton

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Horton. What changes the price is:

  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Your questions about tile repair in Horton

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you work in Horton?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Horton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole tiled area and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  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

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
