Tile repair for Houghton Green homes

Tile repair in Houghton Green without replacing anything

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Our repair technicians work on floor and wall tiles, ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles, and the jobs we see most are cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Get a quote

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Common questions in Houghton Green

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Do I have to be there?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

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

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

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Houghton Green included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Repair or replace in Houghton Green?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why Houghton Green clients choose us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Read our pricing.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
