Tile repair in Lower Shelton without replacing anything

We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Typical jobs include chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, across porcelain tiles, marble and floor and wall tiles.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What affects the price in Lower Shelton

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Common problems we fix in Lower Shelton

Landlord and trade work in Lower Shelton

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lower Shelton use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Can I fix it myself?

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

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

FAQs for Lower Shelton

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Often, yes, if it isn’t loose.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

What do you need from me?

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

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  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

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access
