Tile repair in Nethercote

Nethercote: your questions answered

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Tile repair at your home in Nethercote

We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Typical jobs include chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles, across natural stone & granite, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

When a repair is not the answer

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Nethercote. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  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

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

For a price in Nethercote, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

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

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
