Tile repair for Lane End homes

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Tile repair in Lane End without replacing anything

We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We regularly repair porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and marble, and people most frequently call us about damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Lane End and across Telford and Wrekin. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, 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.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • One picture of the entire tiled area
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lane End as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

FAQs for Lane End

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

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

Do you cover Lane End?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Lane End from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

Will you leave a mess?

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

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

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

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
