Trusted tile repair in Itchen

Tile repair in Itchen without replacing anything

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Our repair technicians work on porcelain tiles, marble and natural stone & granite, and people most often call us about cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What a repair cannot 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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

FAQs for Itchen

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Frequently, yes, if it isn’t loose.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  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

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Landlord and trade work in Itchen

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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