Trusted tile repair in Knowl Bank

Tile repair in Knowl Bank without replacing anything

We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Our technicians work on ceramic tiles, marble and natural stone & granite, and the jobs we see most are drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Questions from Knowl Bank

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Frequently, yes, if it is not loose.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Do you come to Knowl Bank?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Knowl Bank. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What does tile repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Repairing versus replacing in Knowl Bank

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.

  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Knowl Bank. What changes the price is:

  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A picture taken from further back

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
