Tile repair in Matching Tye

Tile repair in Matching Tye, done in place

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. If you’re dealing with chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings, we can help.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Our hiring checklist

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Matching Tye. What changes the price is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Matching Tye, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us pictures 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.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  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. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can
