Tile repair in Lackford

What affects the price in Lackford

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Lackford. The price comes down to:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match

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

How to get a fixed price

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

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire tiled area, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Tile repair in Lackford, done in place

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. Our repair technicians work on ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and marble, and people most frequently call us about drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

10 questions to ask before booking

Your questions about tile repair in Lackford

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

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.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Often, yes, if it isn’t loose.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Repairing versus replacing in Lackford

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One price list for the whole UK

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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 photos.

What a repair can’t fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • 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 pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
