Tile repair for Leicester Forest East homes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Tile repair in Leicester Forest East, done in place

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. We work on floor and wall tiles, natural stone & granite and marble, and the jobs we see most are drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges.

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

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Leicester Forest East: your questions answered

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
