What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

About our tile repair in Ilsington

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’ll say so. Our technicians work on floor and wall tiles, marble and ceramic tiles, and people most often call us about cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Ilsington: your questions answered

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Is my repair covered?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you cover Ilsington?

We do. We send a technician to Ilsington for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Ilsington. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ilsington as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What we’re called out for in Ilsington

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

People generally call us after spotting one of these:

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

Comparing quotes

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Choosing a repair company

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why Ilsington customers choose us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
