Trusted tile repair in Lower Earley

Tile repair in Lower Earley without replacing anything

The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We regularly repair ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and marble, and the jobs we see most are cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

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

Questions from Lower Earley

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Will you leave a mess?

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

What affects the price in Lower Earley

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the whole tiled area
  • Details of any past repairs

Most customers in Lower Earley get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Lower Earley

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why Lower Earley customers choose us

  • Work done at your home or business

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Same prices wherever you are

See our prices page.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lower Earley

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.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Common problems we fix in Lower Earley

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace

What to look for in a quote

  • What prep work is covered
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How the colour is matched
  • When it can be used again
