How we handle tile repair in New Luce

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. We work on ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and porcelain tiles, and the jobs we see most are drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Your questions about tile repair in New Luce

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Generally, if it isn’t loose.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What do you need from me?

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

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Are there extra charges for New Luce?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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 recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

What tile repair costs

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

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole tiled area
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairing versus replacing in New Luce

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Why book with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
