Tile repair in Longdowns, done in place

The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. Whether it’s cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges, we can typically put it right.

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.

Questions from Longdowns

What does tile repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Landlord and trade work in Longdowns

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.

  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. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What a repair can’t fix

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One visit for most repairs

What affects the price in Longdowns

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

  • A photo taken from further back
