Tile repair in Mepal

Landlords, agents and businesses in Mepal

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Tile repair in Mepal, done in place

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’ll say so. We work on natural stone & granite, marble and porcelain tiles, and people most frequently call us about cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the area is dry

Advice

Mepal questions

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you work in Mepal?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Mepal and the rest of Cambridgeshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Mepal. What changes the price is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash

If you’re in Mepal and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we cannot 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 photos and we will say what we think before booking.
