Trusted tile repair in Kneesworth

Tile repair in Kneesworth without replacing anything

We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Common call-outs are for cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings, across natural stone & granite, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 often lifts.

Choosing a repair company

Should you replace it?

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Kneesworth. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Questions from Kneesworth

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Typically, if it is not loose.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

What a repair can’t fix

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A photo taken from further back

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
