Tile repair in Merston, done in place

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. Common call-outs are for drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools, in natural stone & granite, marble and ceramic tiles.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What we can’t put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire tiled area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Merston

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Our hiring checklist

Your questions about tile repair in Merston

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

What happens after I send pictures?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you cover Merston?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Merston. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
