Tile repair for Latherford homes

Common questions in Latherford

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How much does tile repair cost in Latherford?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Latherford.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Are there extra charges for Latherford?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

About our tile repair in Latherford

The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. Typical jobs include chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings, in natural stone & granite, floor and wall tiles and marble.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A picture taken from further back

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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 photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Latherford

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. The repair is levelled 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

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Latherford

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
