About our tile repair in Midland

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Common call-outs are for damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools, on porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

When we would advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot 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

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Midland

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Midland use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

If you manage property in Midland, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Take a look at our full price list.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Midland questions

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What about drill holes in tiles?

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
