Tile repair in Newton

How we handle tile repair in Newton

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. We are frequently asked to fix chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles, across ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and marble.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

FAQs for Newton

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

What we’re called out for in Newton

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Damaged tile edges
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace

What your quote should include

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How soon you can use it again

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Same prices wherever you are

Can I fix it myself?

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: 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, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
