Tile repair in Lawthorn, done in place

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. We regularly repair natural stone & granite, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles, and people most frequently call us about drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Lawthorn. The price reflects:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Lawthorn. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Lawthorn, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace in Lawthorn?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lawthorn as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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 booking.

Materials we repair

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

How it works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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 recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price
