Need tile repair in New Hinksey?

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Why New Hinksey customers choose us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Tile repair at your home in New Hinksey

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. Our repair technicians work on porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles and natural stone & granite, and people most frequently call us about drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

The process

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  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. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access

Landlord and trade work in New Hinksey

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

What affects the price in New Hinksey

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

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is

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 pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For a price in New Hinksey, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

New Hinksey: your questions answered

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes New Hinksey. Prices don’t change with location.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Will it make a mess?

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

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
