Tile repair in Mears Ashby without replacing anything

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. Whether it’s cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can generally put it right, on porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles and natural stone & granite alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Mears Ashby: your questions answered

Is there a guarantee?

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

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

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

How soon can you come?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

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

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire tiled area and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

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

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
