Tile repair in Newborough without replacing anything

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. We regularly repair marble, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Common questions in Newborough

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Do I need to be at home?

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

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

What affects the price in Newborough

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the whole tiled area
  • Something in shot to show the size

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Repair or replace in Newborough?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newborough use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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 you book.
