How we handle tile repair in Lapal

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. We are often asked to fix damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles, in porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles and marble.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Landlord and trade work in Lapal

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

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Lapal: your questions answered

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you quote from photos?

Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Often, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Dudley.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Lapal. The price comes down to:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs

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

Send pictures for a quote

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