Tile repair for Laughton homes

How we handle tile repair in Laughton

The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. Typical jobs include discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools, across porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Choosing a repair company

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

FAQs for Laughton

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What affects the price in Laughton

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
