Tile repair in Meinciau

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

How we handle tile repair in Meinciau

The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We regularly repair natural stone & granite, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles, and common reasons people contact us are cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  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. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Meinciau. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We don’t 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

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A photo taken from further back

If you are in Meinciau and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot 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’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

Repairing versus replacing in Meinciau

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Work done at your home or business
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Your questions about tile repair in Meinciau

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

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

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Usually, if it is not loose.
