Need tile repair in Milton of Leys?

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Tile repair in Milton of Leys, done in place

The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. Common call-outs are for chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles, across ceramic tiles, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Milton of Leys

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

The process

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain 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. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Milton of Leys: your questions answered

How much does tile repair cost in Milton of Leys?

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 a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Often, yes, if it isn’t loose.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different 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.

  • Natural stone & granite
  • Marble
  • Porcelain tiles
