How we handle tile repair in Inverkip

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If you’re dealing with damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles, we can typically put it right, on porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Inverkip use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Inverkip: your questions answered

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Often, yes, if it is not loose.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you cover Inverkip?

We do. We send a technician to Inverkip for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Inverkip included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

When we would advise against a repair

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 you book.

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

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

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
