About our tile repair in Ivy Chimneys

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. We work on floor and wall tiles, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles, and the jobs we see most are damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire tiled area

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

How the visit 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 will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean the tile and remove 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. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Related advice

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • 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 photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Ivy Chimneys

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

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Your questions about tile repair in Ivy Chimneys

What does tile repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

Do you work in Ivy Chimneys?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Ivy Chimneys, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
