Book tile repair in Knowle

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

How we handle tile repair in Knowle

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’ll tell you. Whether it’s discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Knowle

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

10 questions to ask before you book

Questions from Knowle

Do you cover the entire of Bristol?

All of Bristol, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Generally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Repairing versus replacing in Knowle

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it 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. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Knowle

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
