Tile repair in Kemptown

How we handle tile repair in Kemptown

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 will say so. Whether it’s discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can help, on floor and wall tiles, ceramic tiles and marble alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Landlord and trade work in Kemptown

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kemptown use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Kemptown

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

Repairing versus replacing in Kemptown

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • We leave the room as we found it

Your questions about tile repair in Kemptown

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Kemptown included. Travel is included in the price.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

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

What does tile repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  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

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
