How we handle tile repair in Longnor

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. We’re often asked to fix discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles, across natural stone & granite, ceramic tiles and floor and wall tiles.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Longnor and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repairing versus replacing in Longnor

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • No need to remove anything

Read our prices page.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not 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’ll say what we think before you book.

FAQs for Longnor

How quickly can you book me in?

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

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Are you accredited?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Longnor. The price comes down to:

  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • One picture of the entire tiled area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
