About our tile repair in Knockin

The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Our repair technicians work on marble, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

The process

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

FAQs for Knockin

All of Shropshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Knockin. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

If you’re in Knockin and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
