Common questions in Kings Heath

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How do I get a price for tile repair in Kings Heath?

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

Do you cover Kings Heath?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Kings Heath and the rest of Birmingham. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Usually, if it isn’t loose.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Tile repair in Kings Heath, done in place

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. Typical jobs include discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings, in floor and wall tiles, ceramic tiles and marble.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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 typically the cheaper route.

What tile repair costs

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

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • How many areas need work

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kings Heath

For anyone letting property in or around Kings Heath, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repairing versus replacing in Kings Heath

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
