Trusted tile repair in Laxton

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

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.

About our tile repair in Laxton

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’ll tell you. We’re frequently asked to fix discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges, across porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and natural stone & granite.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Laxton. The price reflects:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Laxton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For a price in Laxton, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Choosing a repair company

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Laxton: your questions answered

Is it safe with children and pets around?

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Generally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout
