Tile repair in Little Almshoe

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. 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.

About our tile repair in Little Almshoe

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Our technicians work on natural stone & granite, ceramic tiles and marble, and common reasons people get in touch are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Before and after: damaged granite tiles repaired in place

Honest limits

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What we do, step by step

We turn 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. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing 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

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
