Tile repair in Minions

FAQs for Minions

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

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

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Tile repair at your home in Minions

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Whether it’s cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings, we can usually put it right, on natural stone & granite, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Minions

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Minions as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down 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. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

See our prices page.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • How much damage there is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole tiled area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When we’d advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t 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

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

What we work on

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

What we are called out for in Minions

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

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

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
