Tile repair at your home in Little Carlton

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. Whether it’s discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

How to compare quotes

The process

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a few hours.

  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 match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

Little Carlton: your questions answered

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

How much does tile repair cost in Little Carlton?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Frequently, yes, if it isn’t loose.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Little Carlton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Little Carlton. What changes the price is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • The type of damage

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire tiled area
  • Any details about the material

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire tiled area, we can price the job.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
