Tile repair in Longbyre without replacing anything

The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. If you’re dealing with discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges, we can typically put it right, on ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and natural stone & granite alike.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Our hiring checklist

When a repair is not the answer

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

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

What we work on

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
