Book tile repair in Lidlington

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Tile repair in Lidlington without replacing anything

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If you are dealing with discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles, we can help, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Lidlington. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
  • Any details about the material

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

Lidlington questions

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Often, yes, if it is not loose.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

When to call us in Lidlington

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

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

What your quote should include

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • When it can be used again

Choosing a repair company

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. 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 jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
