Tile repair near Kidsgrove

Tile repair in Kidsgrove, done in place

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. Typical jobs include cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, on ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice

Kidsgrove questions

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How much does tile repair cost in Kidsgrove?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your ST7 postcode.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What about drill holes in tiles?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Staffordshire.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • 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 pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Kidsgrove

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Kidsgrove. The price comes down to:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size

If you’re in Kidsgrove and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
