Tile repair in Humbie without replacing anything

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Typical jobs include cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings, in floor and wall tiles, marble and porcelain tiles.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

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

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

What affects the price in Humbie

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A photo taken from further back

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Humbie questions

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Typically, if it isn’t loose.

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

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

What does tile repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Humbie

For anyone letting property in or around Humbie, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

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

When to call us in Humbie

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Drill holes from removed fittings

Before booking anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  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

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

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