What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • 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.

What we work on

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

Tile repair in Knowle without replacing anything

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Our repair technicians work on porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles and marble, and people most often call us about drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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

Your questions about tile repair in Knowle

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What does tile repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole tiled area and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Landlord and trade work in Knowle

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Hampshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Knowle. What changes the price is:

  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
