About our tile repair in Ludford

The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We work on marble, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Ludford

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Typically one visit, start to finish

Your questions about tile repair in Ludford

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Frequently, yes, if it isn’t loose.

Will the price change on the day?

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

How soon can you come?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Do you work in Ludford?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Ludford from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is my repair covered?

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

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

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 pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire tiled area, we can price the job.

Can I fix it myself?

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

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
