How we handle tile repair in Milborne St Andrew

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. We’re frequently asked to fix damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles, across natural stone & granite, marble and floor and wall tiles.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What a repair cannot fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Questions from Milborne St Andrew

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Milborne St Andrew. Prices don’t change with location.

What about drill holes in tiles?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire tiled area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DT11 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Damaged tile edges

How to compare quotes

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

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

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
