Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

About our tile repair in Mere Side

We repair the tile in place, 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 marble, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles, and people most often call us about cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Mere Side. The price comes down to:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage

There are no surprise 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 to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Mere Side, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

The process

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Do you need tile repair in Mere Side?

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Look out for these signs:

  • Damaged tile edges
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
  • Cracked floor tiles
