How we handle tile repair in Newton Downs

We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. If you are dealing with damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles, we can typically put it right.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Your questions about tile repair in Newton Downs

Do I need to be at home?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

10 questions to ask before booking

Landlords, agents and businesses in Newton Downs

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

When a repair is not the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Newton Downs

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

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What affects the price in Newton Downs

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Newton Downs. What changes the price is:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire tiled area

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
