10 questions to ask before booking

Tile repair at your home in Howe Hill

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. If you’re dealing with cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings, we can help, whatever the material.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Oxfordshire. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Questions from Howe Hill

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can you quote from pictures?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we cannot do 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 booking.

The process

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  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. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Howe Hill clients choose us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Howe Hill. The price comes down to:

  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
