Tile repair for Longdown homes

Tile repair at your home in Longdown

We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We’re often asked to fix cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools, across ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and marble.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

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 without visiting.

How to compare quotes

Longdown: your questions answered

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole tiled area and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Longdown. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • No extra charge for your area
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Longdown, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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 will say what we think.
