Your questions about tile repair in Latchingdon

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Do you work in Latchingdon?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Latchingdon from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Normally, if it isn’t loose.

How we handle tile repair in Latchingdon

We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Whether it’s discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges, we can help, on natural stone & granite, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles alike.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Landlord and trade work in Latchingdon

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

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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 match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

  • One visit for most repairs
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
