How we handle tile repair in Little Common

The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. Typical jobs include damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings, across floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Landlord and trade work in Little Common

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  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. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Little Common: your questions answered

When can you do it?

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

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What does tile repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Can landlords book you?

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Little Common. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Little Common clients choose us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Fixed prices from your photos

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Little Common, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
