Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

About our tile repair in Laxdale

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. We regularly repair ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and porcelain tiles, and people most frequently call us about discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Your questions about tile repair in Laxdale

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can you quote from pictures?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What does tile repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

What a repair cannot fix

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.

Materials we work on in Laxdale

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

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Laxdale. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Laxdale. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole tiled area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Common problems we fix in Laxdale

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Clients usually contact us about:

  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools

Questions to ask before booking

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Our hiring checklist

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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 match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
