Repairing versus replacing in Mitcham

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Fixed prices from your photos

See our prices page.

Tile repair in Mitcham without replacing anything

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We regularly repair marble, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles, and people most often call us about damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Mitcham as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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.

How to compare quotes

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Mitcham. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 will say what we think.

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
