About our tile repair in Milton

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. Our technicians work on natural stone & granite, ceramic tiles and marble, and people most frequently call us about chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

10 questions to ask before booking

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Landlord and trade work in Milton

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Milton as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Honest limits

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

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

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your pictures

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Milton, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Milton: your questions answered

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

How do I get a price for tile repair in Milton?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Do you work in Milton?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Milton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
