Landlords, agents and businesses in Laxton

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Tile repair in Laxton without replacing anything

The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Our technicians work on floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and natural stone & granite, and the jobs we see most are damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why Laxton clients choose us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A fixed quote before booking

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
