Your questions about tile repair in Linfitts

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

Do you cover Linfitts?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Linfitts from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it messy?

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

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Tile repair at your home in Linfitts

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We’re frequently asked to fix damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools, across natural stone & granite, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

When to call us in Linfitts

  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Cracked floor tiles

Our hiring checklist

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Why Linfitts clients choose us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole tiled area, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Advice

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

If you manage property in Linfitts, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
