Tile repair near Metal Bridge

Landlord and trade work in Metal Bridge

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Tile repair in Metal Bridge without replacing anything

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If you’re dealing with discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles, we can help, on marble, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles alike.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair 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

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Ensure the area is dry

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why Metal Bridge clients choose us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Everything repaired in place

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 will not last.

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. 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

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

Common questions in Metal Bridge

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What do you need from me?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

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