Tile repair in Land Gate

Your questions about tile repair in Land Gate

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

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

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Tile repair in Land Gate without replacing anything

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Whether it’s discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges, we can help.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Land Gate as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Common problems we fix in Land Gate

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Cracked floor tiles

How to compare quotes

What we cannot put right

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

What affects the price in Land Gate

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Land Gate. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Same prices wherever you are

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

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

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, 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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
