Tile repair in Ludlow, done in place

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. Whether it’s chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles, we can usually put it right, on ceramic tiles, floor and wall tiles and marble alike.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Ludlow as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area

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

For landlords and businesses

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

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ludlow use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Do you need tile repair in Ludlow?

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Aftercare advice
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How to compare quotes

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ludlow. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

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

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Ludlow, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
