Tile repair in Monkswood

Landlord and trade work in Monkswood

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Monkswood use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

How we handle tile repair in Monkswood

The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We regularly repair marble, ceramic tiles and natural stone & granite, and the jobs we see most are cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What affects the price in Monkswood

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  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. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

See our prices page.

What we cannot put right

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 before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

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