Tile repair near Ickwell

Tile repair at your home in Ickwell

The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We regularly repair natural stone & granite, ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles, and people most often call us about cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Common questions in Ickwell

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Ickwell is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

How much does tile repair cost in Ickwell?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Normally, if it isn’t loose.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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.

When to call us in Ickwell

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Cracked floor tiles

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SG18 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Ickwell

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
