Repairing versus replacing in Mashbury

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How we handle tile repair in Mashbury

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 are often asked to fix cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges, on ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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.

What affects the price in Mashbury

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Common questions in Mashbury

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

How much does tile repair cost in Mashbury?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Typically, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

What we are called out for in Mashbury

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

10 questions to ask before you book

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
